Join Maestro T. Herbert Dimmock, the Bach in Baltimore Choir and Orchestra, plus special guests for a sparkling concert illuminating Fauré’s Requiem and a pair of Haydn symphonies. Fauré’s composition is noteworthy for its serene and peaceful mood. Unlike large-scale requiems by Verdi, Brahms, and others, Fauré’s work exudes a gentle stillness and ethereal spirituality. Fauré composed his Requiem following the death of his father, and his mother passed away shortly after it premiered, giving the work added poignancy.

This year’s Tassels & Champagne is a celebration of returns: the return of live burlesque, the return of glitz and glamour, and the return of Gilded Lily to the Creative Alliance.
Celebrate our 35th Anniversary with an all-Bach tribute, featuring Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 & Cantata 184. Nothing is more delightful than the six Bach Brandenburg Concerti.

Equally alluring is Cantata 184: Erwünschtes Freudenlicht (Desired light of joy), which, like the Brandenburg Concerto, has delightful underpinnings of dance throughout.
