Requiem on Nov. 1 What Remains of Love

Maria Riccio Brryce, Composer, Ann Marie Adanick, Mezzo-Soprano & Ann-Marie Barker Schwartz, Violinist

Locations: St. Luke’s Sch’dy at 2 pm & Bethesda Episcopal in Saratoga at 7 pm (2026)

Performance of REQUIEM: What Remains is Love, by Maria Riccio Bryce :   Composer /Lyricist Maria Riccio Bryce will be presenting  her work,  ‘REQUIEM: What Remains is Love, ’ on Sunday, November 1,  in honor of All Souls’ Day.  The Requiem will be performed at two separate churches, on that one day:  first, at St. Luke’s  Roman Catholic Church in Schenectady  at 2 PM, and then, at Bethesda Episcopal Church in Saratoga  at 7 PM.   

REQUIEM is a choral  work of 80 minutes, melding  settings of parts of the traditional Requiem Mass with original songs about life, death, and the mystery of what lies beyond.  

Sung by a chorus of 25 wonderful voices, led by mezzo- soprano Ann Marie Adamick, the performance will be accompanied by the Musicians of Ma’alwyck , with Maria conducting from the piano.

The Requiem premiered  triumphantly at St. Luke’s in 2022, and continues to build a following throughout the Capital District.  It is a musical journey  that transcends denomination, as it speaks to the heart of our shared humanity. It  honors the faith, mourns the losses, and celebrates the invincibility of love.

Maria is proud to offer the Requiem on All Souls’ Eve, when our candles  of remembrance shine most faithfully.
