SUMMARY:To the Hands
DESCRIPTION:Tickets on sale soon! \nAt the heart of this concert is Caroline Shaw’s work\, To the Hands\, and the passion cantata that inspired it\, Dieterich Buxtehude’s Ad Manus\, from Membra Jesu Nostri.

SUMMARY:Ein Deutsches Requiem
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\nBrahms’ Requiem focuses on comforting the bereaved instead of judging the souls of the dead.

This lovely work is perfectly paired with two sublime and devotional Bach motets: O Jesu Christ\, meins Lebens Licht and Ich habe genug. \nJonelle Sills\, soprano\nBrett Polegato\, baritone \nKitchener-Waterloo Symphony\nGrand Philharmonic Choir \nMark Vuorinen\, conductor
