On Sunday, April 1, at 3:00 pm the St. Saviour’s Festival Choir will present Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem. This exquisite work will be accompanied by a small orchestra and organ. Solos will be performed by Marsha Lyons, soprano, and Geoffrey Knowles, baritone. The program will begin with a movement for strings from Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 and will also include a duet from Bach’s cantata Wachet Auf featuring Amy Munson, soprano, and Paul Bartels, bass. The choir is directed by Julia Morris-Myers, organist and choirmaster at St. Saviour’s.
