On the eve of All Saints, and following last year's tremendously successful Fauré Requiem , the choir of Merton College is joined by outstanding soloists (all alumni of the oxford Lieder Young Artist Platform) to perform movements from the Mozart and Schumann Requiems, both written at the very end of the composers' lives. The programme aso includes the profoundly moving Requiem für Mignon, Schumann's setting of Goethe for choir and orchestra, and some of the Mignon Lieder.
