Brahms' Requiem. Johannes Brahms' German Requiem combined with Lilli Boulanger's Psaume 24 in a top international cast around Anja Bihlmaier and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. Johannes Brahms would actually have liked to call the *German Requiem* the 'Human Requiem': "As far as the text is concerned, I will confess that I would quite happily leave out the 'German' and simply put the 'human'", he wrote to the conductor of the premiere, Carl Reinthaler, in 1867. This humanity is also reflected in the texts he used: in contrast to the often martial "Dies irae, dies illa", with which other masses for the dead focus on the Last Judgement, Brahms addresses his Requiem to the grieving bereaved, to whom he wishes to give comfort. This can already be felt at the beginning, when the choir begins a cappella with the words "Blessed are those who mourn". This 'Human Requiem' can be experienced at the Brucknerfest Linz with a very special, international cast: Anja Bihlmaier conducts the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, of which she has been Principal Guest Conductor since 2024, as well as the internationally renowned Audi Youth Choir Academy. The solo roles will be performed by Canadian baritone Joshua Hopkins and German soprano Julia Grüter, who last wowed audiences at the Brucknerhaus in the Great New Year's Eve Concert 2024. **Julia Grü** ter | soprano **Joshua Hopkins** | baritone **Audi Youth Choir Academy BBC Philharmonic Orchestra Anja Bihlmaier** | Conductor [ Contact ](#ttgCollapseKontakt) ---------------------------------- **Brucknerhaus Linz** Untere Donaulände 7, 4010 Linz Phone[+43 732 775230](tel:+43732775230) E-Mail[kassa@liva.linz.at](#mailto) Web[www.brucknerhaus.at](https://www.brucknerhaus.at) book a ticket [book a ticket](https://www.brucknerhaus.at/programm/veranstaltungen/bihlmaier-bbc-singers-bbc-philharmonic-orchestra-30.09.2026-19-30 "New window") --- **Legal contact information** Linzer Veranstaltungsgesellschaft mbH Brucknerhaus Linz Untere Donaulände 7 AT-4010 Linz marketing@liva.linz.at https://www.brucknerhaus.at UID: ATU23131803 --- **We speak the following languages** German [ Event location ](#ttgCollapseVeranstaltungsorte) ---------------------------------------------------- **Brucknerhaus Linz** Untere Donaulände 7, 4010 Linz Phone [+43 732 775230](tel:+43732775230) E-Mail Web [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- [ Prices ](#ttgCollapsePreise) -------------------------------- **General price information**Different price categories [book a ticket](https://www.brucknerhaus.at/programm/veranstaltungen/bihlmaier-bbc-singers-bbc-philharmonic-orchestra-30.09.2026-19-30 "New window") **Discounts (Memberships)**- Linz Card Discount Danube-Culture-Bonus [ Suitability ](#ttgCollapseEignung) -------------------------------------- - All weather [ Accessibility ](#ttgCollapseBarrierefreiheit) ------------------------------------------------- Please get in touch for more information. **other information**- Toilet facility for disabled people [ Cooperation ](#ttgCollapseKooperationen) -------------------------------------------- - Anton Bruckner event [ book a ticket ](https://www.brucknerhaus.at/programm/veranstaltungen/bihlmaier-bbc-singers-bbc-philharmonic-orchestra-30.09.2026-19-30 "New window") [To the website](https://www.brucknerhaus.at) powered by [TOURDATA](https://www.tourdata.at "New window") [ ![TOURDATA Logo](https://www.upperaustria.com/fileadmin/templates/global/images/Logo-Tourdata.png "TOURDATA Logo") ](https://www.tourdata.at "New window")
