THE CITY CHOIR OF WASHINGTON
JOIN US AS WE CONTINUE OUR 2019-20 SEASON
DURUFLÉ
REQUIEM
and Poulenc’s Litanies to the Black Virgin
March 15, 2020. 5:00 pm | Saint Luke Catholic Church
Composed in the immediate aftermath of World War II,
Duruflé’s Requiem (1947) is both ethereal and transcendent. As
part of our strong commitment to music education, the City
Choir has invited the exceptional West Springfield (VA) High
School Madrigals, directed by Dustin Brandt, to sing this
exquisite masterpiece with us. We also welcome the Shenandoah
University Cantus Singers, directed by Dr. Karen Keating, to
perform Poulenc’s powerful and haunting Litanies to the Black
Virgin. These paragons of French choral music are presented in an
intimate setting for an experience not to be missed!
BACH
MASS IN B MINOR
May 17, 2020. 7:30 pm
Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall
Musicologist Ted Libby emphatically stated, “The Mass
in B minor is as lofty in design, scope and expression as
anything written by the hand of man.” Indeed! The City
Choir of Washington will ring the curtain down on its 2019-20
season with a stirring and spectacular performance of Bach’s
monumental and most memorable, masterpiece.
