Brahms Requiem
Join us for a live performance of Brahms beloved choral masterpiece, the German Requiem, in the glorious setting of Leeds Minster.
Unlike a traditional Mass for the dead, this "Human Requiem" was written to comfort the living, and eloquently reflects the depths of human sorrow, while offering comfort, hope, and a sense of transcendence.
Let the sounds of soaring choral voices, the rich colours of the orchestra, and Brahms stirring harmonies wash over you for an evening of genuine inspiration and joy.
Tickets are only 20, with FREE admission for children and students. The concert begins at 7.00pm and is expected to conclude at approximately 8:45pm.. Find out more...
