Saturday November 1, 2025
Seraphim will open its 2025-2026 season with a concert commemorating the departed. The program connects the hauntingly evocative "Danse macabre" by the French poet Charles Baudelaire to music's own dance between life and death. The stage will be set with an organ transcription of Camille Saint-Saëns' 1874 symphonic poem Danse Macabre, which depicts skeletons dancing to Death's fiddling on Halloween night. The centerpiece of the concert will be Maurice Duruflé's beautiful Requiem, Op. 9 (1948 version), his most famous composition. Other works by 20th and 21st century French luminaries will be included. For those who grieve and long for loved ones at this time of the year, we hope this commemoration of the departed will bring comfort.

Southborough, MA — The Assabet Valley Mastersingers (AVM) is thrilled to announce its November 2025 concert. This concert features the Mass in C by Beethoven, as well as the Requiem in D by Maurice Durufle. We will have an organist accompany the Requiem in D. Join the choir to kick off this inspiring season of music by AVM that speaks to unity, resilience, and hope. Our 2025-2026 season, “Together We Can”, brings powerful works together that celebrate the strength of the human spirit. Beethoven’s deeply expressive Mass in C and Duruflé’s poignant Requiem explore faith, memory, and the emotions that connect us to something greater. The Mass in C was written during the middle period of Beethoven's musical career; this was Beethoven's first mass and very much influenced by the aura of Haydn's reputation. Durufle’s Requiem features impressionistic harmonies and is deeply serene and meditative.
