The Oras Chamber Choir performs Maurice Duruflé’s immense, enchanting, and sublime Requiem with conductor Erik Johannes Riekko and organist Ian Sadler on Saturday, May 12th at 8:00 PM.
A masterpiece of twentieth century music, Duruflé synthesizes authentic Gregorian chant, Renaissance inspired counterpoint, and rich impressionistic harmony to create a work of deep musical profundity and enigmatic beauty, in a style uniquely his own.
Also programmed are complementary works by the Estonian minimalist composer Arvo Pärt and English composer Herbert Howells.
