Life, love, and loss are the momentous themes addressed by Brahms in his lush, romantic, and heartfelt Requiem. The composer himself said an equally relevant title for this work would be the “Human Requiem,” and this remarkable music of consolation and contemplation puts the Los Angeles Master Chorale’s strengths on full display, ready to sweep you away. The program opens with two equally touching and reflective works imbued with friendship and love by Pulitzer Prize-winning composers Caroline Shaw and David Lang.Contributing Sponsors: Dr. Annette Ermshar and Dan Monahan, Jane and Edward McAniff, Jenny Kim and Chip Baik
