Wheaton Chorale and Chamber Singers, in collaboration with Visiting Artist Dr. Patrick Chiu, present Fauré Requiem.  In the realm of choral music, narratives unfold, each carrying a distinct message.  As choral performers we explore, identify, and craft compelling stories within our concert programs, establishing a profound connection with the audience.  Through a synthesis of musical, physical, and emotional expressions, a theatrical choral concert transcends conventional boundaries, inviting all participants to engage with the powerful force of relatability.

Suggested contribution $10.

Wheaton’s choral tradition for the holidays celebrates music of varied cultures and time periods, and features the Wheaton Chorale and Chamber Singers under the direction of Assistant Professor Alexandra Lutkevich.

The concert is free to the public, but contributions are gratefully accepted.
