Sorrow becomes beauty and loss becomes hope, in Brahms' heartfelt German Requiem.
Some say that loss is the price we pay for love, and when Brahms set out to mourn his mother in music, he sought only to console and comfort the living. His beautiful German Requiem is the result. After the timeless power of Purcell – it’ll make a deeply moving conclusion to our annual CBSO Remembers concert.
