Requiem Reimagined
The world premiere of four new works interwoven with their inspiration, Victoria's Requiem
Holy Trinity Church
MENUDon’t miss our free pre-concert Q&A with composer James Joshua Otto and conductor Sarah Latto at 6.30PM!
Victoria’s 1605 Requiem (Mass for the Dead) represents, arguably, the pinnacle of Renaissance sacred music. Tomas Luis de Victoria began his musical life as a boy chorister in his birthplace, Avila, west of Madrid, but was sent by Philip II to Rome to prepare for the priesthood, where he prolifically wrote music for the church: the Requiem was his final piece.
Paragon Singers, one of Bath’s finest chamber choirs, perform this intensely reflective and moving music in the stunning setting of Holy Trinity church in Bradford on Avon.
Interwoven with the Requiem will be four contemporary responses by emerging composers, Richard Barnard, Sarah Dacey, James Joshua Otto, and Katharine Parton, specially commissioned by Paragon Singers.
Join us for the world premieres of these works in what will be a profound and unique evening of new and old music.
Student tickets available at £6.
