Often known as a Requiem for the living, Brahms’ masterpiece has touched concertgoers for over 150 years. In Comfort and Embrace, The Thirteen remakes this beloved work in a fully staged theatrical production that is designed to move each and every member of our audience. This production will feature the audience interspersed among the performers, creating a new relationship between our audience, our musicians, and this touching work. The Thirteen will perform this work with its original and intimate orchestration – piano four hands – with the exceptional pianists Derrick Goff and Rachelle Jonck.

About his Ein Deutsches Requiem Brahms wrote: “as regards the text, I must confess that I would gladly leave off the ‘German’ and replace it simply with ‘human.’” Join The Thirteen for this concert which explores human connection.
