Cathedral Choral Society: Armistice 1918

Russian composer Alexander Kastalsky wrote Commemoration for Fallen Brothers, a powerful ecumenical Requiem, to commemorate the diverse nations and faiths of the Allied lives lost in World War I. He finished the complete seventeen-movement work in 1917, and it will receive its world premiere at this concert.

The Cathedral Choral Society is honored to partner with the World War I Centennial Commission and three choruses on this national project around the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day. Learn more about the Kastalsky project: http://kastalskyrequiem.com/.
