What
Brahms wrote his Requiem for the living. He conceived of it as a “human requiem” to offer comfort to those who mourn. Given the losses of the past and the heroic efforts of researchers and medical professionals, Brahms’ masterpiece expresses our emotions of sorrow and gratitude like no other. Joining us in Brahms’ own four hand piano arrangement are noted period piano specialist Brian Connelly, Artist Teacher at the Shepherd School of Music and Yvonne Chen, a graduate of The Juilliard School and the Shepherd School of Music, playing a 19th century Bösendorfer piano similar to one Brahms might have played. Our featured soloists are soprano, Cynthia Clayton and baritone, Héctor Vásquez, distinguished members of the Moores School of Music faculty.
The concert opens with the premiere of a new composition dedicated to caregivers with words by Houston Poet Laureate Outspoken Bean and music by Todd Frazier.
