Orchestra Iowa presents a towering work for orchestra and chorus at “German Requiem,” May 3 & 4. Joining the orchestra for this beautiful piece by Brahms will be Chorale Midwest, with two nationally-renown soloists.
Music director Tim Hankewich says that because Brahms used many different New Testament verses for his text, rather than just funeral liturgy, the work is uplifting and inspiring in a different manner than other works of a similar theme.
May 3 at the Paramount Theatre, May 4 at Iowa City West High School. Tickets and info at www.orchestraiowa.org.
