| Gabriel Fauré | Requiem |

We conclude our season with music written for the great cathedrals and churches of France. At the heart of this brilliant musical tradition is the deeply moving music of Gabriel Fauré and his contemporaries in late 19th— and early 20th—century Paris. Experience the beauty of Fauré's evocative Requiem and his profound Cantique de Jean Racine, along with works by César Franck, Camille Saint-Saëns, and Marcel Dupré.
