Danse Macabre (Choral Concert), 02 November 2025, Cambridge MA

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-Saens' 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.
