The Defiant Requiem with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra
This is the Verdi Requiem, as written, with stunning multi-media art, commemorating the 16 performances of the Requiem by the prisoners of the Terezin concentration camp in WWII. These three performances, in early May of this year, were a powerful experience for performers and audience members alike. The CCD is profoundly grateful to Maestro Murry Sidlin, the DSO and world-class soloists, and our guest choristers for sharing their musical gifts with us in these monumental, deeply meaningful concerts that reached as many as 20,000 audience members, both in-house and online worldwide.
All of us in the Community Chorus of Detroit thank you – our supporters – for all you do to help us to continue “Singing in the Heart of Detroit!”
This activity is supported by the MICHIGAN COUNCIL FOR ARTS AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS and the NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS.
