Dublin City Choral Union presents Luigi Cherubini's Requiem in C Minor

Sunday, 29 January 2023, 5.00pm

Conducted by: Duncan Brickenden Orchestra led by: David O’ Doherty

The Requiem in C Minor for mixed chorus and orchestra was written in 1816 by Italian composer Luigi Cherubini (1760-1842) and was greatly admired by many other composers, especially Beethoven, who requested this requiem at his own funeral.

It comprises seven movements and, unusually, does not feature any vocal soloists. Even more unusually, it features a single stroke of a tam-tam (gong-like instrument) at the start of the Dies Irae.

Please do join us to hear this wonderful and little-performed work with full choir and large orchestra in the lovely surroundings and acoustic of St. Andrew's Church, Westland Row, Dublin 2.

Time & venue: Sunday 29 January 2023, 5pm, St. Andrew's Church, Westland Row, Dublin 2.

Tickets: €20, €15 concession (pensioners, students, unwaged).
