Johannes Brahms

Ein deutsches Requiem, Op.45 (A German Requiem)

The central work of his career, Brahms’ Ein deutches Requiem linked two of the most important spheres of his lifelong musical endeavor— the vocal and the symphonic. Also known as A German Requiem  the work is no thicket of mourning, but rather the most hopeful and uplifting piece in the requiem canon. The seven-movement  musical arc rises up from a gentle opening, pushing through stormy darkness, ultimately ending on a tranquil, pastoral note. The highly-acclaimed Gloriæ Dei Cantores with soprano Adrienne Danrich and baritone Thomas Jones converge to convey the genius of the work with utmost sensitivity and strength. 

Directed by Elizabeth Patterson, Gloriae Dei Cantores (Singers to the Glory of God) holds a passionate dedication to illuminate truth and beauty through choral artistry, celebrating a rich tradition of sacred choral music from Gregorian chant through the twenty-first century. Sharing its vision of inspiration and hope, the critically-acclaimed Gloriæ Dei Cantores has toured extensively, touching the hearts of audiences in 24 countries in Europe, Asia, and North America.

The voice of soprano Adrienne Danrich has been has been described as “fresh liquid-silver.” Her recent solo debuts include the Sarasota Opera, Dayton Opera, San Francisco Symphony, and Laredo Philharmonic Orchestra.

Baritone Thomas Jones boastsan “irresistible” vocal and stage presence and has appeared with orchestras, opera companies, and choral ensembles and on recital series throughout North America. 

Tickets range between $26.00 – $61.00 depending on seating.  They can be purchased online or by telephone.

Jan. 21st: DO IT AGAIN

Feature Documentary | 2010 | 85 min.

A movie about extreme fandom, mid-life crisis, the joy of making music, and the madness of the Davies brothers. ‘Do It Again’ is about one man’s quest to reunite the ’60s rock band, The Kinks. But it’s more, as we follow Geoff Edgers, a Boston Globe staff writer, driven by both his desire to create something special before he becomes 40 and his longing to reclaim his teenage, garage band past. Along this journey he encounters Sting, Zooey Deschanel, Clive Davis, Peter Buck, Paul Weller, Robyn Hitchcock and, of course, members of the Kinks.
