The chorus offers this concert in remembrance of all children who have passed in the last year due to violence in this country and worldwide. Eric Whitacres piece Child of Wonder captures the tragedy and loss, and comes from his larger work The Sacred Veil for chorus, piano, and cello. The large work Requiem, by Maurice Duruflé, features Seattle-based organist William Bryant, and it is the centerpiece of this memorial, alongside other commemorative pieces for chorus, piano, and cello with works by Sarah Quartel, Antonín Dvoák, and Shawn Crouch. Presented in the resonant and beautiful spaces of First Congregational Church of Bellevue and Seattle First Baptists newly remodeled sanctuary, the chorus offers a message of hope - despite the pain and sorrow of such terrible loss - life and light will shine through.
