Samy Moussa: A Globe Itself Infolding
Brahms/Detlev Glanert: Four Serious Songs
Fauré: Requiem

French composer Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem—a far gentler setting of this text than those of Verdi, Mozart, and Berlioz—highlights this program of inspiring and uplifting music. Acclaimed Canadian baritone Russell Braun sings Brahms’s final major work, the wise, deeply moving Four Serious Songs, in a beautiful version with original preludes and orchestration by Detlev Glanert and Montreal composer Samy Moussa’s celebratory work opens the concert.
