Inaugural Fauré Requíem Performance Set for April 15
Cooper Students Invite Choir Students to Join Them In Concert
Cooper vocal and orchestra students will be joined in concert by students from Incarnate Word Academy, St. Thomas High School, First Colony Homeschool Ensembles and professional orchestra musicians for a very special performance of Fauré Requíem, on Sunday, April 15 at 5 p.m.
“This is an opportunity for the choir to perform a requiem, which is longer than a typical concert allows,” said Cooper Choir Director Rae Moses. Accompanied by a 20-piece orchestra made up of professional musicians as well as Cooper students and faculty, the setting of the Requiem by Gabriel Fauré is a 35-minute multi-movement work. It is not a complete litgurgical Requiem, but rather a personal selection of texts, emphasizing the idea of rest and peace.
“We are so pleased to have student vocalists from other schools, many who we have become acquainted with Through various Honor Choir performances, to join us for this special presentation of this major work,” Moses said.
