Verdi Requiem

Join us for the culmination of Festival of Voice 2026 with a thrilling performance of Verdi’s Messa da Requiem — one of the most dramatic and emotionally charged works in the choral repertoire.
Bringing together the full forces of the Festival, this special closing event features an outstanding line-up of soloists: Jennifer Davis, Victoria Simmonds, John Findon and James Platt, alongside the Festival of Voice Chorus, conducted by Gavin Carr.
From the whispered intensity of the opening prayer to the apocalyptic fire of the Dies Irae and the radiant hope of its final pages, Verdi’s Requiem unfolds on an operatic scale — a work of immense theatrical power, profound humanity, and unforgettable beauty.
Performed in the unique atmosphere of the Festival’s final weekend, this promises to be a fittingly powerful conclusion to a week devoted to music, artistry, and the human voice in all its richness.
