THE FAURE REQUIEUM

Los Angeles Master Chorale will present Gabriel Faure’s THE FAURE REQUIEM on March 28 & 29 at Walt Disney Concert Hall, 135 N. Grand St., LA, CA, 90012. Jenny Wong conducts the Chorale, which will be comprised of 62 voices, chamber orchestra, and Kiku Day on the shakuhachi.

Faure’s REQUIEM stands apart from other works in the genre by expressing an intimate, comforting, and ultimately peaceful view of death and the deliverance it can offer.

Also on the bill are Frank Martin’s “Mass for Double Choir” and Roxanna Panufnik’s “Zen Love Song, from Wild Ways.”
