Join the Rhode Island Civic Chorale & Orchestra for an evening of music that invites reflection, beauty, and hope. Our Requiems concert brings together two stunning works: Herbert Howells’ deeply personal Requiem and Maurice Duruflé’s luminous tribute to peace and rest. Connecting them is Arvo Pärt’s Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten, a hauntingly beautiful orchestral meditation on memory and loss.
With soaring harmonies, rich textures, and moments of profound stillness, this program offers a powerful journey through sorrow, healing, and renewal. Whether you are moved by the serene elegance of Duruflé, the emotional depth of Howells, or the timeless sound world of Pärt, this is a concert experience you won’t want to miss.
We can't wait to share this unforgettable evening with you!
