(May the ranks of angels receive you, and with Lazarus, the poor man, may you have eternal rest.)

Cecilia opens our second season with a solemn commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, featuring Gabriel Faure's immortal Requiem, one of the most profund and moving meditations on loss in the choral repertoire. The program will also include songs of loss, consolation and hope, all accompanied by St. Philip's magnificent new Fritts organ.
