Fauré’s Requiem rises like a breath of serenity in music history: far from terrifying visions of death, the composer offers a gentle, luminous, almost fraternal passage. 

His discreet temperament, modest sensitivity, and quest for clarity resonate on every page—from the introspection of the Introit to the suspended tenderness of the Pie Jesu. It is a work that consoles rather than dramatizes, opening a door to a peaceful elsewhere. Opening this profoundly human program, the meeting of two major Quebec voices—composer Keiko Devaux and writer Dany Laferrière—promises a creation where poetry and music respond to each other with intensity.
