Join the San Francisco Choral Society for a powerful and uplifting performance of Johannes Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem, presented as part of the 2025 Summer Festival Chorus. Unlike traditional requiems, Brahms' masterwork offers comfort to the living rather than prayers for the dead, making it a uniquely compassionate and deeply human expression of grief, hope, and peace. With its sweeping melodies, rich harmonies, and profound emotional depth, this choral masterpiece continues to resonate across time and cultures. Under the direction of Artistic Director Robert Geary, a chorus of more than 150 voices—joined by full orchestra and debuting soloists—will bring this beloved work to life in an unforgettable evening of music. Whether a longtime classical music lover or new to the genre, audiences will be moved by the sincerity and grandeur of Brahms’ vision. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience one of the great treasures of the choral tradition.

The San Francisco Choral Society, California Chamber Symphony and soloists will be led by San Francisco Choral’s Artistic Director, Robert Geary, winner of the 2023 Chorus America Michael Korn Award.
