The ¾¨Ó㴫ý Festival Chorus and Warren Philharmonic Orchestra will perform Faure's Requiem Saturday, Feb. 26, at 7:30 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.

"A vibrant and exuberant Beethoven's 8th Symphony will set the stage for Faure's Requiem, with its lush sonorities and ethereal vision of paradise," said Dr. Robin Lind, director of choral activities at ¾¨Ó㴫ý.  "This is actually a new choir created for this concert.  We are combining the ¾¨Ó㴫ý Concert Choir, the Women's and Men's Choruses, plus some faculty and alumni, giving about 120 voices to the work."

The concert will also be performed Sunday, Feb. 27, at 4 p.m. at the Packard Music Hall  in Warren, Ohio, and Sunday, March 6, at 3 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church of Edgewood.

The first two concerts will be performed with the Warren Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Susan Davenny Wyner, and will include Beethoven's 8th Symphony, as well as Faure's Requiem.  Dr. Anne Bentz, assistant professor of music at ¾¨Ó㴫ý, will sing the soprano solo in the performances with the orchestra.

The last concert, featuring the ¾¨Ó㴫ý Concert Choir under the direction of Lind, will be accompanied by Dr. Elizabeth Harrison, ¾¨Ó㴫ý organist, and will include other selected choral works.
