Brahms’ Requiem
Cantare Chorale, Soloists and Orchestra

Saturday, March 26, 2022, 7:30pm, Walnut Creek Presbyterian Church
Sunday, March 27, 2022, 4:00pm, First Presbyterian Church of Oakland
In March 2022, Cantare will present one of the pinnacles of Western Art, Johannes Brahms’ Requiem. It is a work whose focus is on the living, those who have experienced loss and who now seek comfort in their solitude. Singers are drawn into the mastery of Brahms’ writing, his use of classical forms, his elegant melodies coupled with the harmonic richness of the Romantic period. Click here for more information about the concert, and contact David Morales at david@cantareconvivo.org for an audition. New singers are always welcome!

Chorale and Chamber Ensemble singers joined together to perform eleven varied selections including Gabrieli’s “Jubilate Deo”, Pinkham’s “Christmas Cantata”, and Roland Carter’s classic stirring arrangement of “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Included were works that reflect on unity, hope, joy, peace, comfort, love, and surprising possibilities, themes common to this holiday season. Our Nova youth choir also performed, alone and together with the adults. All were accompanied by brass quintet, organ, flute, piano, bass and drums.
