Brahms: German Requiem

Join the Wells Cathedral Oratorio Society and the Southern Sinfonia and step into a world where longing meets solace and where music transforms sorrow into transcendence.

This evocative program pairs Richard Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder — five intimate songs of dreamlike yearning and unspoken passion which influenced Tristan & Isolde and Das Rheingold — with Johannes Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem, a monumental choral masterpiece offering comfort and hope in the face of loss. United, these works explore the deepest facets of the human experience: love and farewell, mourning and renewal, darkness and radiance.

From Wagner's tender whispers of desire and resignation to Brahms' sweeping vision of consolation, this concert invites you on a journey beyond time, where music speaks when words fall silent — and where, even in grief, love remains.
