Berrima Singers present Fauré’s REQUIEM.

It has been said that my Requiem does not express the fear of death and someone has called it a lullaby of death. But it is thus that I see death: as a happy deliverance, an aspiration towards happiness above, rather than as a painful experience.” Gabriel Fauré

If you’ve never heard Fauré’s famous Requiem live, then prepare for a choral experience of a lifetime. One moment spine-tingling, the next, like being wrapped in a warm blanket – the fear of death overwhelmed by eternal love. The program includes Faure’s Cantique de Jean Racine, surely one of the most swoon-worthy works of the period, as well as other choral masterworks which explore everlasting love in all its imaginings.
