A moving call for peace with a star-studded cast…
We’re back with another bucket list performance at the Adrienne Arsht Center! Three of the world’s most celebrated singers—Christine Goerke, Ian Bostridge and Roderick Williams—join forces for Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem. Pairing Latin text with poems by WWI soldier Wilfred Owen, this pacifist masterpiece uses orchestra, soloists, choirs and organ to grand effect. “If you’re searching for a piece imbued with timeless meaning, one that carries particular poignancy during our own war-torn era, look no further” (NPR).
Resonance of Remembrance
This concert is part of Resonance of Remembrance. New World Symphony is proud to present Resonance of Remembrance, a season-long commemoration marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the Holocaust. This series’ music serves not only as timeless memorials honoring the millions of lives lost, but also as urgent warnings for today.
We are all moral witnesses to the despair, suffering and destruction that war has wrought upon our world, and its many lessons—about conflict and peace, totalitarianism and resilience. Music compels us to consider our shared humanity, allowing us to learn from the past and envision a peaceful future for all. More information at www.nws.edu/peace.
