The Brahms Requiem Friday, April 11 2025 • 7pm, Sanctuary
Experience the majestic scope of Brahms’s German Requiem with the intimacy of chamber music. In the composer’s own reduction of the orchestral accompaniment for piano duet, the work’s hand-picked biblical texts come to life, and its stunning choral textures take center stage. Critically acclaimed concert pianists Anna and Dmitri Shelest join the twenty-four professional voices of the Fifth Avenue Chamber Choir to create the rich, Romantic sound of this year’s Lenten concert.
