A German Requiem
Church of the Epiphany
Washington DC, 20005
How to get there
Brahms's Ein Deutsches Requiem is unlike any requiem before it. The composer set aside the mass for the dead and its day of wrath and chose instead words of comfort: Blessed are they that mourn. How lovely is thy dwelling place. I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice. It is a requiem for the living — music written to hold a grieving world and help it rise again. For our season finale, over one hundred musicians from Capital City Symphony and Cantate join together in this monumental, healing masterwork. This is where the entire season has been leading all along - a moment to find each other, share comfort, and rise together as one. Bring someone you love.
Featuring soprano Teresa Ferrara Blessing and baritone Jim Williams
