Requiem: A Choral Tribute to D-Day
Conductor: Will Kesling

Remembering D-Day 80 years later. On June 6, 1944 more than 160,000 Allied troops landed on a 50-mile stretch of heavily fortified coastline in Normandy, France to fight Nazi Germany. We honor the more than 9,000 Allied soldiers who were killed or wounded. More than this, we remember all our Veteran heroes who have given the ultimate sacrifice. This performance of Antonin Dvořák’s powerful, solemn Requiem and John William’s “Hymn to the Fallen” from the movie Saving Private Ryan, are dedicated to them. Veterans may purchase a discounted ticket for $12.

There will be a pre-performance lecture at 6:45pm in the West Fackler Foyer.
