2025 Lustrum concert

This winter semester, Maastricht University Choir proudly presents for their Lustrum concert: Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem, Opus 45.

The largest composition Brahms ever wrote, the Requiem has become one of his most beloved works across the world. This choral composition is special, because it is intended to offer hope and comfort to those mourning their lost beloved. With its focus on consoling those left behind, this monumental piece is very different than the masses by the Catholic church. Brahms himself suggested that the title should be: a ‘human(e)’ requiem (ein menschliches Requiem). And truly, it is a piece for all who have loved, lost and lived. We will perform the Requiem with a big choir, two soloists and two grand pianos. Join us for a majestic composition. More information will follow soon on our website and socials. For now, you can save the date: 25 January 2025, 8 pm, at a venue in Maastricht. We look forward to singing for you!
