Sins and Grace

Take a choral journey through divine grace and mortal sin with this pairing of Gabriel Faure’s Requiem in D Minor alongside SEVEN: A Cycle of Sins, a new song cycle commissioned by MasterVoices.

The Fauré Requiem is beloved for its serenity and promise of eternal rest. SEVEN provides a different texture, with contemporary interpretations of the seven deadly sins by seven composers from diverse genres:

Michael Abels | LUST
Will Aronson and Dolan Morgan | GLUTTONY
William C. Banfield and Michael R. Jackson | SLOTH
Jason Robert Brown | ENVY
Heather Christian | WRATH
Ted Hearne | GREED
Gregory Spears | VANITY

This two-night event promises vocal music at its most creative and thrilling.
