Episode Details

The Washington Symphony Orchestra and Washington Festival Chorale are joining forces for a 9/11 remembrance concert on September 12th. WSO Music Director Yugo Ikach and WFC Artistic Director Mitchell Stenker spoke with Jim Cunningham about the event.

This year marks 25 years since the September 11 attacks. The concert highlights Requiem for the Living by Dan Forrest, a modern version of the traditional Requiem. Barber's Adagio for Strings opens the program, joined by additional choral works reflecting themes of remembrance, hope, peace, and the dream of a better world. Yugo and Mitchell hope the evening can provide healing and hope for concertgoers.

The concert takes place at Immaculate Conception Church in Washington on Saturday, September 12th at 7:00pm. Admission is free, but guests are strongly encouraged to RSVP on the Washington Symphony's website.
