The combined choirs of Greenfield Presbyterian, Zion Lutheran, Our Lady of La Salette, and members of Cana Lutheran will present Gabriel Fauré’s beautiful Requiem on Palm Sunday, March 24th, at 4:00pm at Our Lady of La Salette. While requiems are closely related to the Christian faith as a lament for the dead, Gabriel Fauré's melodic Requiem focuses on the restful and fear-free nature of death. The festival choir and chamber orchestra will be conducted by Roger Smith, music director of Zion Lutheran in Ferndale. Maggie Rees, soprano, and James Wilking, baritone, will be the soloists. The orchestra will open the concert with Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme also known as Sleepers Awake by Johann Sebastian Bach. The choir and orchestra will also perform By Faith by Stuart Townsend, arranged by Michael Laurence and orchestrated by Roger Smith. A free will offering will benefit the Gleaners Food Bank in Detroit and the Welcome Inn Homeless Center in Royal Oak.
