Kastalsky Requiem: Memory Eternal to the Fallen Heroes
Northwest Premiere
Overcome with urgency, Alexander Kastalsky began composing his haunting Requiem during World War I to remember fallen brothers in the Great War across national lines: a call for reconciliation, redemption, and hope. Never performed during the Soviet era, this richly scored Requiem for large a cappella choir receives its Northwest premiere led by guest conductor Steven Fox, nominated for a GRAMMY for his recording of the work with the Clarion Choir. By honoring a part of our darkest history, Kastalsky’s Memory Eternal helps us together embrace courage and hope for the future.
