Brahms’ German Requiem, in other words, funeral music, translated into Hebrew, performed with our 16-voice choir accompanied by two pianists.
The text is a bunch of Scriptures about death, the grave, its unavoidability, and the future hope and resurrection; “we shall not all sleep,” and the last Shofar.
Our Scripture ensemble choir is named “Fiat Lux,” Latin for “Let there be Light.”
Thanks to our donors who help towards our travel expenses and ongoing costs:
