Riverfront-Franco Center, Lewiston

Our classical concert will feature two major works accompanied by strings. First, we will feature one of the most beloved choral works of the 19th Century, Requiem by Gabriel Fauré. This seven movement work focuses on eternal rest and consolation. Our performance will be dedicated to the memory of the victims of Covid-19. After intermission, we will perform the Sunrise Mass of Norwegian composer, Ola Gjeilo. This beautiful four movement work will be performed in celebration of recovery and hope for the days ahead.
