[Choir] Fwd: tix for Brahms

[Richard Riley]

Dear Songsters all,

In response to Bronwyn's email below, here is information about the
Burlington Choral Society's upcoming performances of the Brahms Requiem.

Dick





The Burlington Choral Society will cap its 40th season in April with
performances of beloved music. Richard Riley, artistic director, will lead
the chorus, soloists and two pianists in Johannes Brahms' *Requiem*.



A musical journey from sorrow to consolation, the piece will be sung in
English, as it was in 1871, just three years after its German premiere.
Also on the program is Brahms' passionate *Schicksalslied (Song of
Destiny).*



Performances are scheduled for Saturday, April 22, 7:30 p.m., at Elley-Long
Music Center in Colchester and Sunday, April 23, 4 p.m., at the Barre Opera
House. This will be the chorus's first performance in Central Vermont.



Pianists Claire Black and Diane Huling will be side by side at the keyboard
playing Brahms' own four-hand piano arrangement*.* Sarah Cullins, soprano,
and Geoffrey Penar, baritone, are the soloists.



Riley says, "Performing the Brahms Requiem is one of the most profound
experiences one can have in music. The music is gigantic, and yet intimate.
Together, performers and audience create an environment where, through
music, we share our most personal feelings about life and death."
