 “There are certain pieces that have a greatness that extends beyond the page, those that have taken a cultural importance in general society. One thinks of Beethoven's 9th Symphony played when the Berlin Wall fell, or the Funeral March from Beethoven's 3rd Symphony, which was played just after the announcement of the assassination of JFK. Verdi's Requiem has a similar history, being performed at the famous Terezin concentration camp in World War II. For the 60th anniversary of BCCO, we are commissioning a composer, Michael Schachter, whose ancestor Rafael Schachter organized performances of the Verdi while he was interned at Terezin. We open our anniversary season with the Verdi Requiem and finish it with this new commission, to echo the artistry of the musicians, artists, poets and intellectuals who came together during difficult times.” - Ming Luke
