Our first 2015 concert is dedicated to French composers Gabriel Fauré and Hector Berlioz. This is a rare opportunity to experience a live performance of Berlioz’s gloriously scented and atmospheric music Les nuits d’été, sung by international soprano Lisa Harper-Brown. The concert concludes with the famous Fauré Requiem a truly unique composition of uplifting musical phrases, which appeals to performers and listeners alike and emanates ethereal beauty and spirituality.
