Join us for a collaborative performance between two of Brookline's own home-grown ensembles - the Brookline Symphony Orchestra and the Metropolitan Chorale, conducted by Andrew Altenbach of the BrSO. Our performance will feature soloist Kayla Kovacs, soprano, and David Small, baritone.Brahms composed this masterpiece over the course of several years following the death of his mother and his contemporary composer Robert Schumann. Unlike other well-known requiems, Brahms used the German text of the Lutheran Bible, rather than the Latin of a typical Catholic version. In the spirit of the Reformation, he intended this requiem to be a comfort to the living, rather than a dedication to the deceased.
