Emily Pogorelc makes her debut with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and conductor Nathalie Stutzmann in one of the great choral monuments of the repertoire: Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem. A work of profound tenderness, it sets texts not of grief but of comfort — a hymn of consolation that moves from mourning to transcendence with extraordinary grace. The concert opens with the Duet-Concertino by Richard Strauss, featuring the artistry of ASO principals Jesse McCandless and Cameron Bonner.

Pogorelc is joined by baritone Samuel Hasselhorn. Of her previous performance of the Requiem with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Seen and Heard International wrote that her “full-bodied voice bloomed clear and true” in the soprano’s aria Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit.
