Brahms Requiem
March 11, 2026
Johannes Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem is one of the most profound choral masterworks ever composed. In this performance by Downtown Voices, NOVUS, and soloists Moriah Berry (a former Trinity Choral Scholar) and Brian Mextorf (Trinity Choir), Brahms’s setting of biblical texts unfolds in waves of grief and consolation, embodied in expressive orchestration and choral melodies. Unlike traditional requiems, Brahms’s masterpiece is not a mass for the dead but rather a work for the living, offering reassurance and solace.
