Verdi Requiem (with Romsey Choral Society)
Verdi: Requiem
Waverley Singers joined forces with Romsey Choral Society for two performances of Verdi's towering masterpiece, the Messa da Requiem.
Famously described as 'an opera in all but name', it is conceived on a huge scale, with four soloists, large orchestra including an oversized bass drum, offstage brass fanfares. It is simply high drama from start to finish, an extraordinarily dramatic and powerful work.
The first of our two performances took place in Romsey Abbey on Saturday 11 November 2017 and was conducted by Jamie Hall, the Music Director of Romsey Choral Society. The second took place in Guildford Cathedral on Saturday 27th January, conducted by Waverley Singers' Director of Music, Richard Pearce. Both concerts featured soloists from the Josephine Baker Trust.
