Brahms A German Requiem
David Hayes, Conductor
When was the last time you sang in public? Are you a choral music buff but don't have time to belong to a chorus? Join others in raising the roof with song. Blow away your vocal cobwebs and experience the great fun and satisfaction of singing as part of a group.
Keep your passion for singing alive by joining the New York Choral Society for its 52nd annual celebration of summer. It's easy: we lend you the scores for the evening, provide accompaniment and soloists in the comfortable air-conditioned surroundings at Peter Norton Symphony Space Leonard Nimoy Thalia, and YOU are the chorus.
Brahms A German Requiem demands excessive quantities of passion and drama, angst and sweetness, and power and intimacy. In a letter to Brahms, Clara Schumann wrote, "It is a truly tremendous piece of art which moves the entire being in a way little else does."
David Hayes is music director of both the critically acclaimed professional vocal ensemble The Philadelphia Singers, and The Philadelphia Singers Chorale. Both have been named resident choruses of the Philadelphia Orchestra. He recently concluded a decade-long tenure on the conducting staff of the Philadelphia Orchestra.
