A dramatic and powerful prayer for deliverance from death and hell, Verdi’s Requiem is a thrilling product of years of experience as the world’s greatest opera composer. The Shelest Piano Duo join us for the world premiere of Ryan Jackson’s thrilling new arrangement of this masterpiece for piano four-hands.
