Duruflé Requiem and short works by Lauridsen

Come experience music that speaks straight to the soul in a choral concert that takes you on a radiant, transformative journey.

Maurice Duruflé’s famous Requiem (1947) is a masterpiece of breathtaking beauty and power. Full of yearning intensity, the rich modern harmonies are rooted in ancient Gregorian chants, and the sweeping choral arcs carry us from darkness into blazing transcendence. The 55-strong choir will be accompanied by the brilliant organist David Poon, mezzo-soprano Melanie Adams and baritone David Rosborough.

The concert culminates in three luminous short works by Morten Lauridsen, one of today’s most beloved choral composers: Introit from Lux Aeterna, Ave Maria and Sure on this Shining Night. Accompanied by the choir's talented pianist Danielle Lee, the music glows with clarity and quiet passion, creating moments that feel both timeless and deeply personal.

Whether you’re a seasoned classical listener or discovering the music for the first time, this concert will be an inspiring and uplifting experience.
