Horton Concert Series: “Requiem” by John Rutter featuring the UDC Chorale, SSUMC Chancel Choir and Combined Choirs of the Silver Spring Hub

John Rutter's Requiem, composed in 1985, is a seven-movement choral work that offers a personal meditation on death and remembrance, rather than a strict setting of the Requiem Mass. It blends traditional Latin texts with excerpts from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. The piece is known for its accessible melodies, beautiful textures, and its arch-like structure, which explores themes of prayer, psalmody, and ultimately, hope and affirmation.

Join us for this presentation including Chancel Choir singers from Silver Spring United Methodist Church, Memorial First India United Methodist Church, Christ Congregational Church UCC, and the University of the District of Columbia Chorale. No tickets required, free will donation to the Music Fund of Silver Spring United Methodist Church or Shepherd’s Table’s Culinary Arts Training Program.
