Whether you’re a lifelong lover of classical music or attending your first choral concert, Commemorate and Remember offers an unforgettable musical journey.

Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem is music of extraordinary beauty and consolation. Rooted in Gregorian chant and enriched by luminous French harmonies, it moves from quiet prayer through moments of intensity to the radiant serenity of In Paradisum. Duruflé transforms themes of loss and remembrance into a vision of peace and eternal light.

Tarik O’Regan’s Triptych provides a vibrant contemporary counterpart. Drawing on texts from diverse faith traditions, O’Regan explores death, connection, nature, and community through music ranging from rhythmic energy to contemplative stillness.

The concert also features the world premiere of a new work by emerging composer and chorus member Charlotte Koonce, offering the rare experience of hearing a piece performed publicly for the very first time.

Together, these works create a moving journey toward connection, transcendence, and peace.
