Gabriel Fauré's Requiem is one of the 19th century’s most beloved choral masterpieces. Unlike traditional requiems, it emphasizes peace and solace over fear and judgment. The concert opens with the second annual installment of the OBF “New Transcriptions” Project, featuring composer Oswald Huỳnh, and a signature performance of Luciano Berio’s Folk Songs by “charismatic star” (The Boston Globe) mezzo-soprano, Fleur Barron.
