Composed in 2014 by Australian’s Kathleen McGuire, Andy Payne and Jonathon Welch, STREET REQUIEM has been performed to international acclaim and will be presented by Sing The World tours featuring a massed choir of 200 singers from Australia, USA and Europe and stars of opera and Broadway.
Legendary star of opera Frederica von Stade will join with Tony award winning Broadway star Liz Callaway, Daniel Rodriguez, The Highland Divas and Matthew Lee Robinson and the Sing The World Choir conducted by Dr Jonathon Welch AM and Dr Kathleen McGuire.
The Carnegie Hall performance will herald the fifteenth performance of STREET REQUIEM which was awarded a Special Citation for “dignifying the homeless through song” by The American Prize in 2015.
STREET REQUIEM aims to bring a sense of peace, remembrance and hope to many communities struggling to come to terms with street violence and a loss of safety on our streets – to give these souls a beautiful, resonant voice within our community and a place of remembrance.
This iconic work is a 45 minute cantata, in a contemporary setting of the traditional sung requiem with additional English, African and Arabic lyrics and a modern setting of the Latin text.
