JOHANNES BRAHMS A German Requiem

Experience Johannes Brahms’ magnum opus with Music Director Matthias Pintscher and the Kansas City Symphony Chorus. The great German composer was deeply moved by the death of his mother and composed what he almost called “A Human Requiem.” Taking German texts from the Luther Bible instead of the Latin text of the Requiem Mass, he created a humanist work focused not on the soul of the departed but on the living. The program also includes Arnold Schoenberg’s A Survivor from Warsaw, a memorial to victims of the Holocaust that defies evil with a powerful expression of faith.
