Mahidol University's College of Music presents a choral concert featuring Johannes Brahms's German Requiem (1868)at its music auditorium, Salaya campus, on Wed, Sept 2 at 7pm. The concert will repeat at Assumption Cathedral (near the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok) on Thur, Sept 3 at 8pm.
The Mahidol Chamber Choir will join the Mahidol Symphonic Choir to perform German Requiem , the largest choral piece ever written by Brahms. The German Requiem , more than other requiems, provides hope and consolation in times of darkness and despair.
Written for a large chorus line, orchestra and two soloists, the Requiem will be performed in a four-hand piano version with Bakhtiyor Allaberganov and Yoshimi Matsushima at the piano. The solo parts will be sung by two students from Mahidol College of Music - soprano Sasaya Chavalit and baritone Tulanan Narasetapisarn.
The concert also includes Song for Athene , a choral piece written in 1993 by John Tavener. The performances will be
conducted by Dr Henri Pompidor and Dr Randal Buikema, choral directors at Mahidol University.
Tickets for the Sept 2 performance cost 200 baht (100 baht for students), while the Sept 3 concert cost 300 baht. For more information and reservations, please call 02-800-2525/34 ext 153/5 or visit www.music.mahidol.ac.th/muc.
