Bookings for audience tickets are now open.
From the thunderbolt explosions of the Dies Irae to the hushed prayers of the Libera Me, few pieces in the repertoire offer the drama of opera and the thrill of wonderful symphonic writing combined with stellar, virtuosic solo moments.Big Sing McLaren Vale has joined forces with the Adelaide Youth Orchestra and the Adelaide Philharmonia Chorus to present Verdi’s monumental Requiem for Big Sing 2021.
The massed choir of 220 singers, including the Adelaide Philharmonia Chorus and Fleurieu Singers, and the Adelaide Youth Orchestra, will be led by Keith Crellin OAM, with soloists Teresa La Rocca, Emma Woehle, Robert McFarlane and Pelham Andrews.
“This is music which enters the heart and shakes the soul.” So wrote the great English writer George Bernard Shaw.
Big Sing McLaren Vale grows every year—a platform for choristers to join a massed choir to sing the best loved classical choral works with a symphony orchestra and professional soloists. In 2020 the Chorus will number around 220 singers.
