Delius Singers: Abendlied
German Choral Music for the Evening
Tickets £5 - £15
The Delius Singers present a programme of German music from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries inspired by the evening. The night time has been used as the basis of many contemplations: evocations of nature, fervent romantic passions, the twilight of life, and a plea for peace. Each of these feature in beautiful settings by Rheinberger, Mendelssohn-Hensel, and Brahms, along with choral epics by Schoenberg, Strauss, and Reger.

Richard Strauss - Der Abend (The evening)
