Requiem and choral works by Gabriel Fauré
Choeur de Chambre de Namur
Caroline Weynants, soprano
Millenium Orchestra
Thibaut Lenaerts, conductor
Composed "for nothing", as he himself said, Fauré's Requiem touches all audiences with the beauty and simplicity of its musical phrases and the serenity it exudes. At one of our concerts in 2022, the Namur Chamber Choir paid a magnificent tribute to César Franck. Today, in addition to the Requiem, which they will perform in its very first version written for the services at La Madeleine church, they will complete the programme devoted to Gabriel Fauré with other very fine works, including the famous Cantique de Jean Racine, often associated with the Requiem in concert.
