René is set to perform the Requiem at The Shed in New York City in November with Teodor Currentzis’ musicAeterna ensemble, and following at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. His performance in the Requiem with the Minnesota Orchestra earlier this year garnered critical praise:

“But the most powerful moments came when the audience was summoned into quiet reverence. Such as on an Offertorio with the sweetest of quartets by the four guest vocalists, tenor Rene Barbera upping the operatic ante with a dramatic delivery. ” –Twin Cities Pioneer Press
