Requiem

iPhoto: Sasha Onyshchenko

A monumental work, Johannes Brahms' A German Requiem is one of the most deeply personal and powerful compositions by any great composer. Inspired by the solemn beauty of the piece, choreographer Andrew Skeels presents a poignant work that explores the profundity of human connections. In this strong, meditative creation, he evokes the memory of those who leave but who stay with us nonetheless.
