Thomas Leech, Conductor

A choral and orchestral masterpiece of overwhelming drama, Verdi’s Messa da Requiem comes to St George’s Hall in a powerful large-scale performance from Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra and Bradford Festival Choral Society.

Verdi’s Requiem combines the emotional force of opera with the scale and intensity of a monumental choral work. From the terrifying eruption of the Dies Irae to moments of profound stillness and tenderness, the work moves through fear, grief, hope and transcendence with extraordinary immediacy.

The choir returns to one of the great pillars of the choral repertoire conducted by Thomas Leech, this landmark performance forms part of Bradford Festival Choral Society’s 170th season, bringing together over 130 singers, professional soloists and the full forces of Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra.

Whether hearing it for the first time or returning to a much-loved masterpiece, audiences can expect an evening of extraordinary power, intensity and emotional depth.
