Not bound to any single dogma, Brahms bypassed conventional liturgy to weave together scripture that speaks to sorrow, love, and release. Just three years after its premiere, the work was performed in English with the composer’s support.\n\nThe response to last season’s Spanish-language presentation of The Messiah affirmed how powerfully this music speaks across language.

Al apartarse de la liturgia tradicional, Brahms entrelazó textos bíblicos que hablan del duelo, el amor y la liberación. Apenas tres años después de su estreno, la obra fue interpretada en inglés con el apoyo del propio compositor. \n\nLa extraordinaria acogida de nuestra presentación en español de El Mesías la temporada pasada confirmó la fuerza con la que esta música trasciende el idioma.
