Faure Requiem and Cantique de Jean Racine

Organized by the Classical Revolution RVA and St. Edward Music Ministry, this free performance features singers and instrumentalists from across Richmond performing the music of Gabriel Faure (1845-1924), including Faure’s Requiem and the Cantique de Jean Racine, both frequently performed works of this great French composer. An excellent complement to Van Gogh, Manet, and Matisse: The Art of the Flower, these works illustrate the composer’s bold use of harmonies and exquisite sensitivity to melodic line, all within traditional musical forms.
