MARION — Join the Sippican Choral Society in Wickenden Chapel Sunday, May 5 at 4 p.m. for “Songs of Solace.”

The program features French composer Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem in D Minor, a work that was performed at the composer’s own funeral in 1924 and is noted for its calm, serene and peaceful outlook.

Seekers of solace may also find comfort in renditions of the traditional African-American spirituals “Deep River” and ”City Called Heaven” as well as uplift and renewal in “Make Our Garden Grow” Leonard Bernstein’s finale from his operetta ”Candide.”

Ticket information can be found online at sippicanchoralsociety.org/tickets.htm.

The program is supported in part by grants from the Fairhaven, Freetown, Mattapoisett, and Rochester Cultural Councils, local agencies that are supported by the MA Cultural Council, a state agency. Sippican Choral Society is proud to participate in the MA Card to Culture program in order to make performances accessible to those for whom cost is a barrier.
