Britten’s War Requiem

The London Symphony Orchestra and their new chief conductor, Sir Antonio Pappano, perform their first Prom together, a heartening memorial with spectacular choirs and vocal soloists.

Sir Antonio Pappano’s first Prom as chief conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra brings Britten’s War Requiem, an emblem of hope after mass destruction, to the Royal Albert Hall. They are joined by soloists Natalya Romaniw, Allan Clayton and Will Liverman with the London Symphony Chorus, 91Èȱ¬ Symphony Chorus and Tiffin’ Boy’s Choir, who perform the haunting child choral section. Petroc Trelawny presents this pensive, relevant and highly anticipated concert.
