Magen Solomon directs the 24-voice semi-professional choir, now celebrating their 25th anniversary, in a program that includes my Rekviem, a setting in Russian of a short but beautiful and moving text by Anna Akhmatova. Also on the program is Frank La Rocca’s 2005 Meistersings Choral Competition winning Miserere, an a cappella setting of Psalm 51 in Latin and Trevor Gomes’ Sunscape for mixed chorus and piano. Additional works TBA.
