On this new release from Te Deum and their conductor Matthew C. Shepard present Brahms’s A German Requiem in its rarely heard London version for two pianos and chorus, performed in English. Te Deum was founded by Matthew Christopher Shepard in the fall of 2008 as a way to fulfill an expressed need by both singers and audiences in the Kansas City area to present sacred choral music concerts of the highest quality. The Te Deum Chamber Choir performed its first concert in spring 2009. Since then, the chamber choir has built an expressive and varied repertoire that spans centuries of time and wide ranges of composition style. The success of Te Deum Chamber Choir’s participation of a performance of Bach’s Mass in B Minor in 2013 prompted the formation of a second ensemble solely dedicated to early music performances. Te Deum Antiqua performed its debut concert in the fall of 2013.
