The Berkeley Community Chorus & Orchestra (BCCO) will feature three works from its national Young Composers Competition, as well as Maurice Durufle’s Requiem Op. 9
Durufle’s hauntingly beautiful Requiem, composed in 1947, has been described as "an astounding successful compromise between musical styles 1,400 years apart." The Requiem draws its musical themes from both Gregorian chant and the modern harmonic language of Debussy, Ravel, and Faure.
The concerts are free and open to the public.
