Launching Orchestra Rheia

Orchestra Rheia, a new London-based group of highly talented musicians, will give its first public performance at St Giles Cripplegate on the 31st May 2019, 7.30pm. The program will consist of Brahms’s colossal Ein Deutsches Requiem, alongside J.S. Bach’s Double Violin Concerto. We are lucky to have two hugely-talented young violinists with us to perform the Bach, Katya Tsukanova and Sara Dragan. In addition to this, Lauren Fagan, Australia’s representative for Cardiff Singer of the World 2019, and Theodore Platt, recent winner of the Lies Askonas Competition in 2018, will be joining us as the soloists for Brahms’ vocal masterpiece.

Programme:

Conductor - Stephanie Childress

J. S. Bach, Concerto for Two Violins in D minor
