Experience the sublime beauty of Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem, lovingly written in memory of the French composer’s father. Soprano Sarah Dufresne and baritone Xiaomeng Zhang join forces with the Vancouver Chamber Choir to present this monumental choral work of eternal serenity. Maestro Tausk leads the orchestra in Johannes Brahms’ Song of Destiny and Alban Berg’s Violin Concerto, dedicated by the composer to “the memory of an angel” and masterfully interpreted by violinist Maria Milstein.

Fauré’s Requiem

Orpheum

For over 50 years, the Vancouver Chamber Choir has dazzled global audiences with top-tier live performances and recordings, receiving acclaim for tours and workshops across Europe, Asia, and North America. The Choir makes a rare Toronto appearance, for the first time with their new music director Kari Turunen. The program features music by visiting composer Tarik O’Regan, including his The Spring (from “The Colloquy of the Ancients”), which follows two aged Irish warrior-heroes, inexplicably still alive as they travel across Ireland in search of faith.
