Next concert - Verdi Requiem

The Verdi Requiem, arranged for chamber ensemble by Michael Betzner-Brandt, is a unique adaptation of Giuseppe Verdi's great work. This arrangement takes the original large orchestration, retaining the essence of Verdi’s dramatic composition in a more intimate setting. Betzner-Brandt's version carefully balances the powerful choral and solo vocal lines with a reduced instrumental ensemble. By reimagining the Verdi Requiem for a smaller instrumental group, this arrangement makes Verdi's masterpiece more accessible for smaller concert venues while still preserving its profound impact and expressive power.

Soloists: 

Elizabeth Findon - soprano

Judy Louie Brown - mezzo

John Findon - tenor

Mark Nathan - baritone
