Matthew Andres and Ashley Grote, conductors2026 sees the 50th anniversary of the death of Benjamin Britten and to mark this milestone we open our new season with a performance of his deeply moving War Requiem.
Not only was Britten a major figure in 20th century British music he was of course East Anglian born and bred, with vert close associations with Norwich..
We are very excited to have internationally-acclaimed tenor James Gilchrist heading up a trio of star soloists in theis dramatic and powerful work.
