Faure Requiem
The Faure Requiem will be at the Winspear Centre on Friday, November 8th at 7:30pm. It is well known to most concert goers, a very appropriate piece for Remembrance Day. The second work by John Estacio The Houses stand not far apart is a very powerful plea for peace. The RES is being joined for this concert by 3 other choirs. This means not only a very big sound when called for – but a lot of families and friends scrambling for tickets. 1100 have already been sold and it may be a sell out – so get your tickets early. Unfortunately no special discount from members for this concert. Order from the Winspear Box Office.
