We are so excited and honoured to collaborate with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir again, this time on Brahms’ Requiem in German (Ein Deutsches Requiem). Ben England BEM, will teach the Requiem, starting with our course launch on Monday 8 April 2024 at 17:00 UK time. The launch is open to all as a taste of what we offer and how it works. Please sign up to take part in the full course.

On 22 March 2024 at 19:30 CET (18:30 GMT), Bergenphilive will livestream Bergen Philharmonic orchestra & chorus’ concert of Beethoven's Violin Concerto & Brahms’ Requiem, live from the Grieghallen in Bergen, Norway. The recordings captured at this performance will form the basis of the learning and recording resources for Choir of the Earth’s Brahms’ Requiem course starting on Monday 8 April 2024.

This is a watch party for Choir of the Earth Members who would like to chat during Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra & Choir’s concert of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto and Brahms’ Requiem, conducted by Edward Gardner on Friday 22 March 2024. The chat will begin at 18:15 UK time ahead of the concert starting at 18:30 UK time. There will be an interval of 30 minutes between the Beethoven and the Brahms but the chat will continue throughout. The concert should end around 21:00 UK time and this premiere (and therefore the chat) is due to end at 21:15 UK time.

On Monday 8 April 2024, Choir of the Earth will launch our next course to learn, record and create a hybrid live/digital performance of Brahms’ Requiem with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir. In anticipation of this, please enjoy one of our earliest concerts: Brahms’ Requiem, performed by The Self-Isolation Choir (now Choir of the Earth), conducted by Harry Bradford.
