A transcendent evening of French sacred music.
Let Jehan Alain’s Litanies open the gateway to contemplation with its evocative themes, before the ethereal beauty of Marcel Dupré’s Quatre Motets, rooted in Gregorian chants, simply washes over you. And then the pinnacle of the evening, Duruflé’s profoundly moving Requiem. This masterpiece navigates realms of grief and hope, leading you through the full range of human emotions via the power of music.
