The 150 musicians of Portland Choir & Orchestra have been delighting audiences with inspiring choral and orchestral music for 20 years. Thousands attend PCO’s wide variety of concert programs including the Celebration of Christmas, masterworks for choir and orchestra based on sacred texts, and patriotic and pops style concerts that celebrate humankind’s rich heritage of family, music, faith, and liberty.

The Brahms’ Requiem, as it is commonly known, dominates the requiem category and is Johannes Brahms’ most celebrated work. It is a large-scale masterpiece for chorus, orchestra, and soloists in seven movements and will feature guest artists Stacey Murdock as baritone and Madison Barton-Holloway as soprano. Instead of the traditional Latin text recited at funerals and used by composers for centuries, Brahms chose words that offer consolation for the living. He set psalms and other passages from the Bible leaving out all forms of dogma. It became an enormous success and changed his life.
