In an intimate concert celebrating the Hallé Choir, the dedicated singers take centre stage to perform Duruflé’s breathtaking Requiem, with organ accompaniment.

This very special concert offers a thrilling and rare opportunity to hear the full ranks of the Hallé Choir’s dedicated singers performing a cappella or with organ accompaniment whilst the orchestra is away on tour.  

Comprised of almost 200 singers from around the North West, the Hallé Choir’s performances garner them great acclaim from critics and great affection from audiences.  

With this handpicked programme, compiled by their inspiring Director Matthew Hamilton, they will explore musical creations celebrating the well-known – and perhaps less well-known – heroes of the choral repertoire. The concert includes a performance of Duruflé’s Requiem: often dramatic, it is filled with resignation, hope and terror, ending with the flight of the soul to Paradise.
