Susan Dedell is returning to a powerful requiem she had scheduled to conduct a decade ago, until she was sidelined by a heartbreaking loss.
The Brattleboro Concert Choir, under Dedell's direction, is set to present the choral concert “In the Light,” a pairing of two contemporary requiems, Morten Lauridsen's Lux Aeterna, and Bob Chilcott's Requiem.
Performances are at the First Baptist Church on Saturday, Jan. 12, at 7:30 p.m., and on Sunday, Jan. 13, at 3 p.m.
