Immerse yourself in his world and his music\, and understand how his music evolved over his lifetime with narrated chamber recitals featuring exciting guest artists\, and various other settings of Fauré’s work across the Festival. \nExplore the Series \nWaterfall’s productions always present exciting\, absorbing playing of great music\, but are also rare\, distinctive examples of what can be called music education\, though they’re more conversational\, truly a sharing of perspective\, interest\, anecdote. There’s a sense of immediacy to her delivery\, weaving in and out of the playing\, an intimately conceived present awareness of this heritage. It’s something unique that needs to be experienced.” -Ken Bullock\, Berkeley Daily Planet\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \nMusic critic Alex Ross describes the music of Fauré\, Proust’s favorite composer\, as “a bittersweet\, complicated happiness.” Gabriel Fauré’s songs and chamber music conjure the essence of Belle Epoque Paris with its unmatched assemblage of Symbolist and Impressionist artists. His music is the counterpart of gorgeous pre-Raphaelite imagery and the shapely lines of Art Nouveau. Throughout a life enriched by the salons\, and by the beautiful and talented women of his era\, Fauré created an intimate and subtle art\, a welcome antidote to today’s world. The sensuality and elan of Fauré’s music are balanced by its purity and ineffable beauty. \nFauré wrote some of his most astonishing music in his late seventies\, music strangely untouched by the Great War and its aftermath. This introspective and deeply expressive music evolved\, like late Beethoven\, from the isolation brought on by Fauré’s increasing deafness. \nWith a biographical film and three programs displaying his long and productive life you will learn all about this fascinating composer and feast in his sumptuous world. With this concert series and film\, Susan Waterfall completes her exploration of the great triumvirate of composers who created the glorious efflorescence of late 19th and early 20th century French music. \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n Public ticket sales begin May 6\, 2026\, at noon Pacific.

Immerse yourself in his world and his music\, and understand how his music evolved over his lifetime with narrated chamber recitals featuring exciting guest artists\, and various other settings of Fauré’s work across the Festival. \nExplore the Series \nWaterfall’s productions always present exciting\, absorbing playing of great music\, but are also rare\, distinctive examples of what can be called music education\, though they’re more conversational\, truly a sharing of perspective\, interest\, anecdote. There’s a sense of immediacy to her delivery\, weaving in and out of the playing\, an intimately conceived present awareness of this heritage. It’s something unique that needs to be experienced.” -Ken Bullock\, Berkeley Daily Planet\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \nMusic critic Alex Ross describes the music of Fauré\, Proust’s favorite composer\, as “a bittersweet\, complicated happiness.” Gabriel Fauré’s songs and chamber music conjure the essence of Belle Epoque Paris with its unmatched assemblage of Symbolist and Impressionist artists. His music is the counterpart of gorgeous pre-Raphaelite imagery and the shapely lines of Art Nouveau. Throughout a life enriched by the salons\, and by the beautiful and talented women of his era\, Fauré created an intimate and subtle art\, a welcome antidote to today’s world. The sensuality and elan of Fauré’s music are balanced by its purity and ineffable beauty. \nFauré wrote some of his most astonishing music in his late seventies\, music strangely untouched by the Great War and its aftermath. This introspective and deeply expressive music evolved\, like late Beethoven\, from the isolation brought on by Fauré’s increasing deafness. \nWith a biographical film and three programs displaying his long and productive life you will learn all about this fascinating composer and feast in his sumptuous world. With this concert series and film\, Susan Waterfall completes her exploration of the great triumvirate of composers who created the glorious efflorescence of late 19th and early 20th century French music. \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n Public ticket sales begin May 6\, 2026\, at noon Pacific.

Mozart’s Symphony No. 40\, sometimes referred to as the “Great G minor symphony” to distinguish it from No. 25\, the only other symphony he wrote in a minor key. It is one of his last works\, showing him at his most introspective and thoughtful. The magnificent Brahms Requiem features the Festival Chorus and soloists. Ein Deutsches Requiem is so named because Brahms used text from the German Lutheran Bible instead of the expected Roman Catholic Latin lyrics in his attempt to show the mercy of God\, rather than his judgment\, and to give consolation to those left behind. Soloists Carrie Hennessey\, soprano\, and Robert Sims\, baritone.\nCarrie Hennessey\, soprano \nRobert Sims\, baritone \n\n\n \n Public ticket sales begin May 6\, 2026\, at noon Pacific.
