SACRED CONCERT - FAURE'S REQUIEM

SUNDAY, MARCH 24, 2013 | 7 PM

JAMES R. ARMSTRONG THEATRE

Come to the James R. Armstrong Theatre for an evening of sacred music. "Everything I managed to entertain by way of religious illusion I put into my requiem," says Gabriel Fauré of his master work, "which moreover is dominated from beginning to end by a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest." Contrary to how others may interpret a Requiem Mass, he said, "I see death as a happy deliverance, an aspiration towards happiness above, rather than a painful experience." LC will perform this beloved and ethereal work accompanied by a professional orchestra and soloists. For more information, Read More...
