The La Jolla Symphony and Chorus "Music of the Spheres" concert is conducted by Michael Gerdes, and features Johannes Brahms’ colossal "German Requiem," which may have been inspired by the death of his mother in 1864, a loss which caused him profound grief. This large-scale work for orchestra, chorus, and soprano and baritone soloists is performed in German, a departure from the traditional Latin. This concert also features the world premiere of "An Elemental Music," by composer and Nee Commission winner Alex Stephenson. Series: "La Jolla Symphony & Chorus" [Arts and Music] [Show ID: 38417]
