Скачать или смотреть The Defiant Requiem promo for St. Gregory's Church

The Defiant Requiem is a feature-length documentary that tells the extraordinary untold story of how Jewish prisoners at the Terezin concentration camp learned the entirety of the Verdi Requiem by ear, and performed it for their captors. With testimony by surviving members of the choir, soaring concert footage, and cinematic dramatizations, this unique film explores the singers' view of the Verdi Requiem as a work of defiance and resistance as they sang to the Nazis "what they dared not say."

Our screening will include virtual choirs of excerpts from the Verdi Requiem by friends of StG's, and will conclude with a very special live Q&A session with Murry Sidlin, the president and artistic director of the Defiant Requiem Foundation (who is featured in the documentary).
