FAURÉ & DURUFLÉ REQUIEMS
These concerts are dedicated to the people of Ukraine
Filled with rich, soulful melodies, Gabriel Fauré’s seven-part Requiem is one of the most moving works in the choral canon. Premiering in 1888 at La Madeleine in Paris, where Fauré was the organist, it was later performed at the composer’s own funeral in 1924.
Another masterpiece of French choral composition is Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem, which was completed in 1947 with musical themes drawn from Gregorian chant. It has been described as “supremely beautiful.”
Together these two soul-stirring works guarantee a powerful listening experience.
Please be sure to reserve your spot by 10pm of the day prior to the performance date or purchase at-door at the venue.
