About this event

A towering masterpiece of the 20th century, Britten’s pacifist masterpiece was written to mark the re-opening of Coventry Cathedral in 1962 after the destructive damage during the Second World War.

A tribute to Benjamin Britten in the 50th anniversary year of his death, it will be performed by National Symphony Orchestra Ireland with National Symphony Chorus Ireland, Choristers of St. Patrick’s Cathedral and RTÉ Concert Orchestra, together with soloists soprano Ailish Tynan, tenor Laurence Kilsby, and baritone Joshua Hopkins, under the expert direction of Anja Bihlmaier. War Requiem endures as one of the most powerful and relevant musical works of the 20th century.

Presented by NCH
