The Wagner Ensemble, under the direction of Jeannine Wagner, will perform Johannes Brahms’ beloved masterpiece “Ein deutsches Requiem” (A German Requiem), featuring soprano Sunjoo Yeo, baritone Zeffin Quinn Hollis, chorus, and orchestra. Composed between 1865 and 1868, “Ein deutsches Requiem” is a large-scale work comprising seven movements, making it Brahms’ longest composition. “Ein deutsches Requiem” is sacred but non-liturgical, and unlike the long tradition of the Latin Requiem, was written in the German language.
The Wagner Ensemble was founded by Jeannine Wagner in 1991 under the auspices of the Roger Wagner Choral Institute. Under her spirited guidance, the Ensemble celebrates and promotes the musical legacy of her late father, the legendary Roger Wagner. The Wagner Ensemble has dazzled audiences throughout Southern California and internationally in the performance of choral masterpieces spanning the centuries from the Renaissance to the present.
