The live experience
What reaches the room
Brahms' A German Requiem is recognized as a cornerstone in the Romantic choral repertoire. Composed by Johannes Brahms (1833–1897), the work elevates the living as the focus of consolation, rather than traditional funeral rites. Written in seven movements for choir, soloists, and orchestra, it is Brahms’s longest work and typically runs 65–80 minutes. This performer page highlights the enduring influence of the piece, notable discography, and upcoming tour appearances that bring the music to cities around the world.
