New Dominion Chorale: Yizkor Requiem

New Dominion Chorale (NDC) will begin its 35th season with a free performance of the acclaimed Yizkor Requiem: A Quest for Spiritual Roots, a unique work, combing elements of the Jewish memorial service (Yizkor) with passages of the Christian burial service (Requiem), composed by NDC’s Artistic Director, Thomas Beveridge, in memory of his parents. Premiered by NDC in 1993, it has since been performed across the US and Europe and was recorded by both the Choral Arts Society of Washington, under Norman Scribner, and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, under Sir Neville Marriner – who called the work ”…a masterpiece – a unique blend of East and West – there is nothing comparable.”  This performance, which will feature the celebrated Cantor Benjamin Warschawski, tenor, Esther Heideman, soprano, and Linda Maguire, mezzo soprano, as soloists, will also include Psalm settings by Felix Mendelssohn. Come join us for this concert of sublime peace and consolation.
