Alexandria Choral Society’s first performance of the 2022-2023 season conveys a message of reconciliation and hope in the life everlasting.
Opening with "In Remembrance," composer Eleanor Daley sets expressive melodic lines to Clare Harner’s 1934 poem, "Immortality."
The main component of the evening features John Rutter’s Requiem, set to present an “arch-like meditation on the themes of life and death,” said artistic director, Brian Isaac. Originally composed in 1985, Rutter incorporates personal selection of texts, some taken from Requiem Mass and some from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. “Ultimately, this seven-movement work offers comfort to those in mourning, offering forgiveness, rest and finally a promise of freedom from death itself and everlasting peace.”
Attendees must wear masks for the entire concert. Tickets are pay-what-you-can with a suggested amount of $30. Season tickets are also available for $100. Visit https://www.alexandriachoralsociety.org/ to learn more.
