Alumni and guests are invited to join the Northumbrian Cambridge Association an afternoon musical titled, The People's Requiem.

Marking a return to large-scale music-making, and in memory of those who have lost their lives to Covid-19, this performance features a massed orchestra and choir, consisting of Royal Northern Sinfonia, Chorus of Royal Northern Sinfonia (including your own NCA President, Heather Cordell) and over 200 musicians from the North East community.

Operatic passion, religious grandiosity, and powerful emotions are all hallmarks of Verdi’s Requiem – one of the most iconic pieces of classical music of all time. From the unstoppable force of the Dies Irae to the hushed finale, it captures the imagination like little else.

The concert is at 4.00pm in Hall 1, and we have provisionally booked 16 seats for NCA members and their guests at a cost of £16.00 per ticket. The Sage Brasserie is not currently operating, so we suggest that people who are interested in meeting beforehand for light refreshments (e.g. tea/coffee/cake) at their own expense meet at the Sage Café at 2.45pm. Those who wish to attend only the concert should arrive by 3.30pm to collect their tickets from an NCA committee member, or else request (via the booking form) to have their tickets posted to them in advance.
