BRATTLEBORO — Susan Dedell, director of the Brattleboro Concert Choir, has announced the start of the 2016-17 season, with rehearsals of Johannes Brahms' Ein Deutches Requiem (“A German Requiem”) beginning in September.
Performances of the Requiem with full orchestra and soloists are scheduled at the Latchis Theatre on Jan. 14-15, 2017, according to a news release.
The choir welcomes new members. Singers who haven't sung with the choir and returning singers who haven't sung with the choir for the past year are encouraged to contact Dedell at the Brattleboro Music Center at 802-254-4523.
Dedell first directed this work in 1999 and she notes in the news release that “returning to great masterworks at various times in a career is deeply fulfilling. It is at once an old friend and a brand new acquaintance - full of surprises and revelations as well as history. It is a piece of music I intensely love.”
