BRAHMS
EIN DEUTSCHES REQUIEM, OP. 45

Performance: 8:00 p.m.

Presented by Music Worcester, Inc.

When the Worcester Music Festival was founded, Johannes Brahms was only twenty-five years old. A decade later, he finished his German Requiem. A work of great power and beauty, the Requiem sets biblical texts in German rather than the ancient Latin rite.

The Chorus celebrates its 150th anniversary with one of the most profound European works of art ever penned. The Worcester Chorus will be joined by the Choir of the College of the Holy Cross performing this monumental masterpiece.
