Following their widely acclaimed collaboration on Lagrime di San Pietro, acclaimed director Peter Sellars and the Los Angeles Master Chorale reunite with a deeply personal meditation on what it means to say goodbye in times of struggle. The luminous music of the Baroque composer Heinrich Schütz’s Musikalische Exequien (Music to Accompany a Departure) serves as the inspiration for this ceremony of remembrance and devotion. 24 singers gather for tender and heartfelt communal grieving in a staging that combines poignant solo and choral sections with choreography while powerfully conveying what it means to say goodbye and to have faith that the departed’s presence remains with us.
