L’HARMONIE DES SAISONS: Soloists, choir and orchestra on period instruments, conducted by Eric Milnes
REQUIEM FOR A KING
At the heart of this program is the magnificent Requiem by Jean Gilles—one of the most celebrated requiems of the French Baroque. It was performed hundreds of times during the composer’s lifetime, notably at the funerals of such distinguished figures as Louis XV, Jean-Philippe Rameau, and the King of Poland.
A striking journey into the solemn and mournful world of French sacred music—the kind of music fit for great kings!
Soloists: Len Torrie and Hélène Brunet, sopranos / Nicholas Burns, alto / Philippe Gagné, tenor / William Kraushaar, bass
- Saturday, October 31 – 2:00 p.m.
Église Sainte-Famille de Granby, J2G 2T9
