The Vancouver Cantata Singers presents the final concert of its 2025–26 season, Ein Deutsches Requiem—Johannes Brahms, at Pacific Spirit United Church on April 25 at 7:30 pm.

The last performance of the AURUM season could not be more golden than A German Requiem by Johannes Brahms. Rather than a traditional prayer for the dead, Brahms’s Requiem is a personal and compassionate reflection on mortality, offering a deeply moving message of consolation and hope for the living.

Join the Vancouver Cantata Singers and four Canadian guest artists—baritone Tyler Duncan, soprano Mireille Asselin, and the Bergmann Piano Duo, consisting of Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann—for a presentation of this 19th-century masterpiece.

Tickets are available through the Vancouver Cantata Singers.
