Description
Designed to highlight the humanity and dignity of the least fortunate among us, Street Requiem deploys traditional Catholic choral traditions to lift a prayer for those who have died on the streets. Since its debut in 2014, the Street Requiem has delivered performances in Melbourne and San Francisco, sometimes recruiting homeless and formerly homeless to sing. The aim is to give performers and the audience a different outlook on local homeless-encouraging compassion and engagement, instead of willful ignorance. Ten percent of the production's net proceeds will be donated to the Office of Social Ministry at Basilica Cathedral of St. Joseph. (DSJ)
