Brigantes Missing Pieces

SCHUBERT Symphony No. 8
MOZART Requiem

Step into a musical time machine and explore how great composers have shaped the sounds we hear today. Each concert in our new season begins in a different year, then travels across the centuries to reveal how familiar ideas – beautiful melodies, vivid storytelling, nature, memory and national character – have been reimagined again and again.

Our journey ends with a year that stays in the memory of musicians as the year of Mozart’s death – 1791. His unfinished Requiem is played alongside another iconic, unfinished work, the 8th Symphony of Franz Schubert. Completed by later hands, both pieces remain powerful, moving and deeply human, reminding us that great music can outlive its moment and continue speaking across generations.

The Brigantes Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Quentin Clare with Sarah Helsby Hughes (soprano), Nicola Wemyss (mezzo-soprano), David Watkin-Holmes (tenor) & Matthew Baker (baritone).
