Program

The concert begins with Beethoven’s Mass in C Major, a work commissioned by Prince Nikolaus Esterházy II in 1807. The work features the Chorale, four soloists, and orchestra. Although performed infrequently today, the mass is appreciated by critics as a “long-underrated masterpiece.”

The second half of the concert includes a variety of classical pieces, including Ralph Vaugahn William’s Serenade to Music and a set by the Children’s Choir. The concert concludes with a mass choir performance of Haydn’s Te Deum.
