Festival Chorale Oregon opens its 40th Season with a performance of Brahms Requiem on Sunday, Nov. 18 at 4 pm at the Elsinore Theatre in downtown Salem.

Ein Deutches Requiem by Johannes Brahms is a beautifully melodic work with rich harmonies, sung in the German language. While the Requiem Mass in the Roman Catholic liturgy begins with prayers for the dead (“Grant them eternal rest, O Lord”), Brahms German Requiem focuses on the living, beginning with the text “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted” from the Beatitudes. This theme—transition from anxiety to comfort—recurs in five of the seven movements.

Solveig Holmquist, Founding Artistic Director, conducts the 100-voice chorale, joined by Laura Aguero, soprano, Brett Peldyak, baritone, and a symphonic orchestra.

Tickets are available at www.festivalchorale.org or at the Elsinore Theatre box office, 170 High St NE, Salem. This season concert goers may enjoy premiere seating in the mezzanine with special tickets. Students, seniors 62 and better, and Oregon Trail Card holders enjoy special discounts.

Set in the 1940s in the fictional town of Hohman, Indiana, this musical (which is based on the movie of the same name) follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker and his quest for the Holy Grail of Christmas gifts—an Official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot Range Model air rifle. Rebuffed at every turn with a similar echoing response, Ralphie plots numerous schemes to achieve his desperate desire for the coveted BB gun. All the iconic scenes from the movie are here, joined by a delightfully versatile score that ranges from gentle ballads to show-stopping full-ensemble numbers. A Christmas Story, The Musical will bring an exciting new dimension to those who have seen the movie and will certainly stand on its own for those who haven’t.

Dates: December 20th, 21st and 22nd at 7:30 pm, December 22nd at 2 pm, and December 23rd at 1 pm. Doors open one hour before show.

Join us for our musical portrait of Spain, a country with a rich tradition of music, dance and drama, that embraces diversity of cultures. Salem Symphonic Winds will feature members of the Al Andalus Ensemble in song and dance. Our featured work, Duende by Luis Serrano Alarcón, celebrates Spanish society and its many traditions. The term Duende is used in flamenco to refer to this state of inspiration and supreme perceptiveness, almost magic, which is only reached by the performer in few occasions. This set of symphonic preludes is a fusion of classical flamenco, jazz and Latin music in celebration of the cultures of Spain.

Other works included on the program will be La Boda De Luis Alonzo by Jerónimo Giménez, Arabesque by Samuel Hazo and Roma by Valerie Coleman.

Doors open at 2 pm.
