AndrΓ©s Orozco‐Estrada, conductor

Rising conductor AndrΓ©s Orozco-Estrada continues this season’s sequence of Requiems with Verdi’s mighty concert-hall setting – an β€˜opera in church vestments’. Embracing the full gamut of human emotion, from the most tender and fragile of hopes to the visceral terror of the Day of Judgement, it’s a work that transforms private grief into an astonishing public statement. An international team of soloists includes the exciting young Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen and renowned mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly.
