The Orchestra of St. Luke’s concludes its 2023–2024 series with a glorious evening of Brahms choral works. The program opens with the first-ever Carnegie Hall performance of Brahms’s Begräbnisgesang, a short and deeply personal early work, likely written in remembrance of Brahms’s close friend Robert Schumann. The magnificent requiem follows, treating audiences to a singular masterpiece of the choral repertoire that combines sacred music with a profoundly universal and humanistic spirit.
