Mozart’s Requiem at Larvik Church

In 2026, Tønsberg Cathedral Choir celebrates its 20th anniversary with a concert during All Saints’ weekend.

The programme features Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem, a major work of classical sacred music, and Joseph Haydn’s Te Deum, a festive work for choir and orchestra.

All Saints’ weekend is traditionally a time for remembrance and reflection, as well as hope. Mozart’s Requiem brings a solemn and contemplative character to the concert, while Haydn’s Te Deum adds a contrasting musical expression.

The anniversary concert brings the two works together at Larvik Church and marks 20 years of Tønsberg Cathedral Choir.

Et møte mellom unge talenter og etablerte musikere

This concert brings together young musicians from Vestfold and established performers on the same stage.

Gabriella Sabbah and the Brezza Quartet perform alongside the Vestfold Youth String Orchestra. The orchestra brings together young string players from across Vestfold and is conducted by David Foster Pilkington. Violinist Laurens Weinhold and pianist Julie Ye also perform with the orchestra.

Several of the young musicians are former prize winners of the Midgard Competition in Horten, a competition for musicians aged 8 to 25.

The concert gives young performers the opportunity to play alongside established musicians and meet an audience in the same concert hall, with strings, quartet and piano featured throughout the programme.
