FLC Conducts Messiah

Green Music Center

Brahms was an established figure already, but it was the 1869 premiere of his great requiem setting for chorus and orchestra which cemented his reputation as one of the most important artists of the era. Written in response to the deaths of the composer’s mother and of his friend and mentor Robert Schumann, Ein deutsches Requiem is a deeply personal, transcendent essay on existential peace and acceptance. The performance is prefaced by English composer Benjamin Britten’s Sinfonia da Requiem of 1940, an unusual and poignant wartime symphony which takes its form and content from the traditional requiem rite.

Brahms German Requiem

Von Braun Center

Celebrate the holiday season with Ludwig van Beethoven's hymn to humanity, featuring the Eugene Symphony Chorus and a work by First Symphony Composer Gabriella Smith.

There is no experience that compares to hearing a live performance of Ludwig van Beethoven’s hymn to humanity, starting with the sounds of order emerging from chaos on through to the spine-tingling “Ode to Joy” that will bring you out of your seat in exultation at the end. We also hear First Symphony Project composer Gabriella Smith’s collage of sounds inspired by the natural world, an a capella work sung by the Eugene Symphony Chorus, and another stunning but rarely heard work for chorus and orchestra by Beethoven, Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage.

The Guild Pre-Concert Talk will be held in the Silva Concert Hall from 6:30-7:00. Just a reminder, please sit in your ticketed seat during the pre-concert talk.

Maestro Carl St.Clair and Marco Barricelli, who played Salieri in South Coast Repertory's 2016 production of Amadeus (and replaces the previously announced David Ivers), explore Mozart’s “Requiem” — one of the most enigmatic pieces ever composed, mainly due to the myths and controversies surrounding it. Mozart’s “Requiem,” which was left unfinished at the time of the composer’s death, now enjoys an elevated status as one of the most magnificent achievements in sacred music. Featuring the Grammy Award-winning Pacific Chorale.
