    Description: Spring concert: Brahms German Requiem
    Our Spring Concert features one of the glories of the Romantic choral repertoire.  Join us for this performance of Brahms' magnificent Ein deutsches Requiem (German Requiem).  Composed in the wake of the double loss of his mother and his close friend and mentor Robert Schumann, the work is imposing in scale, yet consolatory in tone, ending with a serene message of hope.  Plus, opening the programme, the orchestra will treat us to Mendelssohn's atmospheric seascape, the 'Hebrides' Overture.

    Helen May (soprano), John Holland-Avery (baritone), Hastings Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Marcio da Silva
