UPPER CANADA CHORISTERS
Laurie Evan Fraser, conductor
Bradley Christensen, baritone

"Everything I managed to entertain by way of religious illusion I put into my Requiem, which moreover is dominated from beginning to end by a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest."
- Fauré, 1921

In a concert titled “The French Connection,” Bradley Christensen joins the Upper Canada Choristers as the baritone soloist in a performance of Fauré’s Requiem. Composed between 1887 and 1890, this altered setting of the Mass for the Dead is one of Fauré’s most well-known choral works. It is written for soprano and baritone soloists, mixed choir, orchestra and organ.
