Under the direction of maestro Alexis Hauser, the McGill Symphony Orchestra shares the stage (the altar, in fact) of l’église Saint-Jean-Baptiste with the Schulich Singers and the McGill Concert Choir for the performance of Johannes Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem. Conceived as a path to consolation, this work was marked by the passing of two very important people for Brahms: his mother, and the composer Robert Schumann, whom he considered his mentor.
