Schola Cantorum and Sinfonia Schola Cantorum: Ein deutsches Requiem

Brahms’s Requiem focuses on the living. “A German Requiem” has, for many music enthusiasts, become an anthem for our time, with grand social and political reverberations. Yet, for Brahms, this work was deeply personal, with the composer himself selecting appropriate texts from the German-language Bible; emphasizing transition from suffering and mourning to comfort. Come celebrate and commemorate the culmination of Music Director Gregory Wait’s thirty-year tenure with Schola Cantorum.
