Magnolia Chorale presents “Fauré en Fete” on Saturday and Sunday, Dec.14 and Dec. 15. Show times are 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Performances will take place at Magnolia Lutheran Church, 2414 - 31st Avenue West, Seattle.

Magnolia Chorale will present “Fauré en Fete” to celebrate Gabriel Fauré, a French composer whose choral works resonate with timeless beauty and subtle elegance. Artistic Director Joseph To, leads the two-concert series — which consists entirely of some of Faure’s most acclaimed pieces, accompanied by a chamber orchestra. 

From the dramatic “Les Djinns,” to the serene “Cantique de Jean Racine,” to his transcendent Requiem, Fauré’s refined, lyrical style and harmonic innovation transport audiences on a journey of peace, hope, and solace. 

Tickets are available at www.magnoliachorale.org and at the door. The Chorale will be collecting non-perishable food at both performances to donate to the Ballard Food Bank.
