Join the Dunbar Heights United Voices and Voices Chamber Orchestra as they bring you an evening of Franz Schubert’s Stabat Mater and Johannes Brahms’ Geistliches Lied, culminating in Brahms’ A German Requiem.
Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem (op. 45 “A German Requiem”), for SATB choir and soprano and baritone soloists, was composed between 1865 and 1868 but only stabilised in its current seven-movement form in 1868, with the addition of what is now the fifth movement. It was Brahms’ largest and longest composition. Two key deaths occurred before he started writing, that of Robert Schumann in 1856 and Brahms’ own mother in February 1865.

There will be another performance at Ryerson United Church on May 8th at 3:00 pm.

Tickets will also be available at the door subject to capacity.
