Making the Requiem sound lovely, then, happens when musicianship and music marry, when breath and sound become one.
Embracing this challenge are the combined choirs of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in West Ashley and Central Presbyterian Church in Anderson. They will perform Rutter's Requiem at 3 p.m. May 15 at St. Andrew's, 712 Wappoo Road.
The performance is a prelude to a May 30 concert at Carnegie Hall in New York, part of a large gathering of singers from about a half-dozen choirs who will have a special experience performing under the baton of the composer himself.
The May 15 presentation is free(though donations are welcome) and will be followed by a reception.
