Verdi “Requiem” at Snape Maltings

Thundering drums and heralding trumpets of the Lambeth Orchestra will have you tingling from head to toe as they join a magnificent massed chorus and 4 outstanding international soloists in filling the wonderful acoustic at Snape Maltings with glorious resonance. Verdi’s operatic skill shines forth in his Requiem creating an unforgettable choral masterpiece filled with great lyrical beauty and dramatic passion. This performance also includes “Fanfare for Verdi Brass”  by contemporary composer Simon Milton.

Geoff Lavery brings his vast experience and formidable talent as a musical director and conductor to the production which features soloists Elin Pritchard (soprano), Kate Woolveridge (mezzo soprano), John Upperton (tenor) and Andrew Slater (bass baritone).

Gippeswyk Singers and Beccles Choral Society have previously collaborated with Lambeth Orchestra at Snape Maltings for a sellout performance of Elgar’s “Dream of Gerontius” which received tremendous reviews in May 2017. Conductor Geoff Lavery has recently become the musical director of Phoenix Singers (Framlingham) and is now in the unique position of being able to seamlessly rehearse and coordinate a phenomenal chorus of 200 singers accompanied by the superbly talented 80 piece Lambeth Orchestra (leader Alan Thorogood).
