On the music:
Brahms’ A German Requiem is a deeply human reflection on love, loss, and the solace offered to those who grieve. Led by Artistic Director Jean-Sébastien Vallée, the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir brings their signature “mix of subtlety, power, and precision” (Ludwig van Toronto) to this masterpiece’s soaring choral lines and rich orchestration. ECHO, a stunning new commission by Stephanie Martin, preludes Brahms’ work, featuring the full power of the Choir and orchestra.
