Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem transcends tacit categorical assignments, blending together modern musical and sacred historical elements in a deeply personal manner that continues to speak to listeners.
To help celebrate the inauguration of Plymouth Church’s beautiful new C.B. Fisk French-style organ, Choral Arts Northwest will reprise its 2015 performance of the Duruflé "Requiem” with organist Douglas Cleveland, mezzo-soprano Stacey Sunde, cellist Virginia Dziekonski, and the Jubilate! Young Women’s Ensemble from St. James Cathedral.
This special program will also feature works by beloved local Bern Herbolsheimer, kicking off a year-long festival celebrating the late Seattle composer’s life and music by many of the choirs of Seattle.
About Choral Arts Northwest
Choral Arts Northwest's mission is to inspire, educate, and enrich our community through the transformational power of choral music. We seek to foster a world that is just and empathetic and that values creativity and diversity. We commit to actively engage with members of our community who have been historically marginalized and use our platform to intentionally support important social causes and highlight the music of diverse groups as well as that of composers who identify as BIPOC, female, or LGBTQIA+. We dedicate ourselves to ongoing learning and listening, and to invite others to join us on that journey through programming, engagement, and collaborations.
