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.

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.

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