Experience the sublime beauty of Fauré’s Requiem in a concert performance at Sydney’s historic St James’ Church.

Often described as the gentlest requiem ever composed, Fauré’s Requiem is music of profound tenderness and consolation. Completed in 1893, it forgoes the fire and fury of the traditional Mass for the Dead, instead offering a luminous meditation on rest and peace. From the hushed opening ‘Introit’ to the radiant closing ‘In Paradisum’, this is music that consoles, cradles and transcends.

The program opens with Samuel Barber’s iconic Agnus Dei — his own choral arrangement of the beloved Adagio for Strings — a work of aching beauty and the perfect companion to Fauré’s masterpiece.
