Fauré Requiem

Andrew Manze Conductor
Julia Doyle Soprano
Roderick Williams Baritone
SCO Chorus
Gregory Batsleer Chorus Director

A hushed prayer for the departed, and a consoling embrace for those left behind: Fauré’s achingly beautiful Requiem has comforted and inspired generations.

Join outstanding soloists Julia Doyle and Roderick Williams, plus conductor Andrew Manze as they explore Fauré’s poignant visions of paradise, joined by the fine voices of the SCO Chorus. Williams also embarks on the profound spiritual journey of Vaughan Williams’s Five Mystical Songs, while Ruth Gipps, a student of his, offers a pastoral idyll from the Lake District.

Berlioz’s bracing Beatrice and Benedict Overture kicks off the concert with sunny Shakespearean optimism.
