Spring 2010 Practices In Progress!

Rehearsals are in progress for our Spring 2010 season, featuring the performance of Cherubini's Requiem in C Minor. Of the Requiem, Ludwig van Beethoven remarked, "“If I were to write a Requiem, Cherubini's would be my only model.” By turns ethereal, highly dramatic and ultimately transcendent, the Requiem premiered on January 21, 1817, in a memorial concert below the abbey church of St. Denis to commemorate the anniversary of the executions of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

Our director, Stephen Mitchell, loved Brian Eno's "This I Believe" essay "The Key to a Long Life" about singing - read it here!
