Brahms - Ein Deutsches Requiem

Saturday 21st March, 2026, 7.30pm

St John’s Church, Bishops Castle, SY9 5AF

The Marches Choir, Cantorion Aberteifi and Marches Sinfonia present Brahms “Ein Deutsches Requiem”.

The programme opens with Mendelssohn’s iconic Hebrides Overture (Fingal’s Cave) a masterpiece that evokes the raw power of the sea and the dark grandeur of Fingal’s Cave. This is followed by his 1844 choral drama Hear My Prayer, featuring the soaring, world-famous melody of “O for the Wings of a Dove”.

The first half concludes with the emotional heart of Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto No 1. Its Adagio is a timeless favourite, celebrated for its lyrical intimacy and “bewitching phrases” that allow the soloist to sing with extraordinary tenderness.

Tickets £15, children and students free, available from February 2026.
