Verdi Requiem
2024-11-23 19:30 - 22:00 | St Martin’s Church, Church Street, Epsom, Surrey, KT17 4PX
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.
