Spring, 2023, GMChorale will present another choral masterwork, Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem). This sacred, non-liturgical piece turned the requiem on its head by deviating from traditional texts and shifting the focus from shepherding the deceased to comforting the living. Ein Deutsches Requiem will be presented with full symphony orchestra.
