About this event

1 hour 30 minutes

Faure’s Requiem and Bernstein's Chichester Psalms – The Howe Street Singers, directed by Les Shankland, perform Faure's much loved Requiem and equally beautiful Cantique de Jean Racine alongside Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms. Bernstein’s dynamic and rhythmically exciting setting of texts from the Book of Psalms makes for a powerful contrast with Faure’s superb mastery of peace and tranquillity.
