Gabriel Fauré’s (1845–1924) Requiem, Op. 48, is one of the most notable works of the late French Romantic period. Rather than the horrors of the Last Judgement, it focuses on consolation, hope and the prospect of heavenly peace.

The Requiem will be performed in a unique arrangement featuring an art harmonium, harp and strings, as well as in a six-part choral version by Michael Geisler.
The programme is rounded off by Fauré’s famous ‘Cantique de Jean Racine’, further solo vocal pieces, and works for harp and harmonium by Franz Poenitz and Guy Baptiste Jaccottet. The concert concludes with Arthur Honegger’s ‘Trois psaumes’ for soprano and accompaniment.
