Most musical works struggle to capture a single mood; only the very greatest try to run the entire scale of human emotion, striking every feeling between despair and exultation. Brahms' monumental A German Requiem (Ein deutsches Requiem) not only attempts this feat, but succeeds like no other choral piece written before or since. Now you can experience its fierce intensity and dramatic scope as the Chicago Master Singers, accompanied by Ars Viva Symphony Orchestra, present this audience favorite along with Brahms' Nänie and the rarely heard Te Deum by Bizet. Alan Heatherington directs both ensembles -- along with guest soloists Michelle Areyzaga, Gerard Sundberg and Peder Reiff -- at Techny Towers' awe-inspiring Chapel of the Holy Spirit.
