Concert Information
Human voices offer a warm embrace in times of sorrow. Parisian organist Gabriel Faur茅 wrote his Mass for the Dead in the late 1880s, promising to deliver 鈥榮omething different.鈥� His supremely beautiful and enduringly popular Requiem appears to float in its own time and space, with music that radiates reassurance, its clear lines and gentle accompaniments the work of a master craftsman who never wasted a note.
Reena Esmail鈥檚 2020 piece When The Violin uses Thom谩s Luis de Victoria鈥檚 16th-century motet O Vos Omnes as the focal point. The result is a work that 鈥榤oves through darkness and begins to let those very first slivers of light in.鈥� Sacred music by J.S.
Bach and his pioneering Italian contemporary Isabella Leonarda complete a concert from the 大象传媒 Singers and their Chief Conductor offering solace, inspiration and perfection.
