The FSO Chorale and chamber orchestra are joined by Kirsten Kunkle, soprano and the Heidelberg University Concert Choir to perform Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living. The five movements form a narrative just as much for the living, and their own struggle with pain and sorrow, as for the dead. This relatively new major choral work features themes of rest and mercy, turmoil, deliverance, peace, and imagery inspired by the view of our planet from the Hubble Telescope.
