Brahms Requiem in the Riga Cathedral - July 2
Guest performance by The Berkeley Community Chorus
The Berkeley Community Chorus is a large, prominent choir based in
California. The ensemble has performed many of the major choral works
together with orchestras in the US and Europe. They previously toured
with Dvorák's Requiem, Mozart's Mass in C Minor, Verdi's Requiem and
Carl Orff's Carmina Burana.
At concert we will hear the choir with the DeCoro Choir and the
JVLMA Orchestra in Brahms' Requiem, the piece that catalysed his
breakthrough as a significant composer. In the majestic requiem,
Brahms expresses his conviction that death can be conquered and all
survivors should thus feel hopeful and have trust.
This concert is the highlight and second concert of a two-week during
tour, in which the Berkeley Community Chorus also performed at the
Alexela Concert Hall in Tallinn and the Konserthuset in Stockholm.
