Most pieces called “requiem” honor those who have passed away, but Brahms took a different path as he wrote this work, which focuses on the living, those left behind, and how we can move forward with loss.

Music Director Jonathan Harvey says,“Brahms’ Requiem is one of the most beloved pieces in the choral repertoire, and for good reason — it deftly and tenderly takes listeners on a journey grappling with the aftermath of death.”

Join us on May 16 and 17, in the beautiful space at Person's Auditorium (Potash Hill, Marlboro, VT) where we will be performing one of the most beloved pieces of choral music: the Brahms Requiem, with professional orchestra and soloists!

This Requiem deftly and tenderly takes listeners on a journey grappling with the aftermath of death.

Even though it is almost 160 years old, the Brahms Requiem is a deeply moving and cathartic way for all of us, performers and audience alike, to wrestle with losses of many kinds. The human facts of the transience of life, the need for comfort, the hope for resolution, and the rewards of effort are all here, to inspire and console us today.

Tickets: General Admission
$20 In Advance, $25 at the Door
Youth: $10
Ages 12 and Under: Free
