Mozart – Requiem

The London Chorus kick off the 2025/26 season, under guest conductor Adrian Brown, with an exciting programme with a strong Australian collaboration.

This concert combines a performance by the choir of a much-loved choral masterpiece, Mozart’s Requiem, with the world premiere of Australian composer Andrew Schultz’s Piano Concerto.

The choir starts the evening with Brahms’ Schicksalslied, meaning ‘Song of Destiny’. It is a powerful choral work based on the poem by Friedrich Hölderlin that contrasts the peaceful life of the gods with the suffering of mankind.

Andrew Schultz’s beautiful and powerful Piano Concerto, played by renowned Australian pianist Rosemary Tuck, has two movements and continues Brahms’ theme of enlightenment and self-discovery.

The evening ends with a performance of Mozart’s Requiem Mass in D minor, with four internationally acclaimed Australian soloists, performed at this concert in memory of the late Ronald Corp who was Musical Director of The London Chorus for more than 30 years.
