A Concert of Remembrance: is a double-bill presentation of The Mozart Requiem with orchestra and The Chariot Jubilee by R. Nathaniel Dett with a string quartet. This concert featuring the Chancel Choir of Grace Episcopal Church and The Sam Bonds Chorale will explore remembering the promise of salvation through these two sacred works. Mozart’s Requiem takes the listener on a musical journey that explores desiring eternal peace and salvation on the day that the trumpet shall sound. Dett’s Chariot Jubilee reflects the same sentiments of the Requiem by helping the listener see the opening of heaven on the last day as God’s promise of salvation is revealed through the text painting and musical layering of harmonies and melodic lines. The Dett will also feature dancers from Muse N Motion Dance Company.
