Conductor: Yuval BenozerThe chamber arrangement by German conductor Michael Betzner-Brandt of Verdi’s dramatic operatic Requiem places the voices at center stage, casting a fresh light on this beloved masterpiece. Like many symphonic works that have been adapted for smaller ensembles (e.g., Fauré’s Requiem, Honegger’s King David), this version offers listeners the chance to focus on the choir’s beautiful musical roles and those of the four soloists—without losing the drama.

The Israeli Vocal Ensemble
Musicians:
Aviad Stier – Organ
Ofira Zakai – Theorbo
Tal Arbel – Viola da gamba
Conductor: Yuval Weinberg (Israel–Germany)For the third consecutive year, Yuval Weinberg—conductor and musical director of the Stuttgart Radio Choir and the Eurochoir—leads the Ensemble in this unique program. At its heart: Musikalische Exequien (1636), the exquisite funeral composition by Heinrich Schütz, one of the greatest early Baroque German composers. Also featured: Warum ist das Licht gegeben dem Mühseligen by Johannes Brahms and Voluntas tua by contemporary Bulgarian composer Georgi Stoyanov. Though composed in vastly different eras, these three works highlight the human spirit and the timeless question: How can we accept the unacceptable? This is the power of choral music—fusing profound text with soul-stirring sound.Purchase subscription
