Serenata celebrate the music of Brahms this April at Lauderdale House.
This concert will feature an eclectic programme of Lieder, Duets & Piano Music by the Classical Romanticist, which will include the original scoring of the Love-Song Waltzes and a special arrangement of Wiegenlied, as well as the Gipsy Songs and selected Hungarian Dances.
Serenata will perform Aimez-vous Brahms? on Friday 27 April 2018 at 7:30pm.
Tickets are £12 (£8 concessions) and will be available on the door or from: 22 Chestnut Avenue N8 8NY (020 8348 2983).
Brahms’ gorgeous, stirring Ein Deutsches Requiem is one of the great choral works, full of warm, rich harmonies. Inspired perhaps by the deaths of his mother, and his friend and fellow composer Robert Schumann, its music evokes comfort, loss, fear, peace and joy. Unlike other well known requiems, Brahms’ is not so much a mass for the dead as an offering of solace to those who mourn.
Jane Hopkins conducts Voxcetera, with soprano Ellie Sperling and baritone Jamie Sperling, using Iain Farrington’s acclaimed arrangement of the score for chamber ensemble. It promises to be both a grand and intimate experience.
There will be a bar open before and after the performance, and Voxcetera hopes you’ll stay to join us for wine and cake when the music finishes.
