SEASON EIGHT: 2022-2023

26 JANUARY 2024

Dear Concert Friends,

I must take this belated opportunity to thank the St. Colman Choir, the Washington High School Symphonic Choir, members of the orchestra and soloists for their magical performance of Mozart’s Missa Brevis in D, K.194 and the Sunrise Mass of Ola Gjeilo on November 12, 2023. It was a memorable occasion for performers and audience alike. Not only was musically exciting and the first collaboration of the St. Colman Choir with a local school group, it was the first time ANY of the performers (except for the concertmistress, Maureen Case) had ever performed either piece before. That alone would have made it a unique experience; the high level of performance made it even more so. Thanks to the Washington High School director, David Scott, for his willingness to add additional music to their already busy schedule.

The Choir of St. Colman Church, soloists and chamber orchestra.
A modern, ravishing and moving setting the ancient words of a ‘Requiem’ by the 20th century’s most successful choral composer and the baroque setting of Christianity’s oldest hymn that serves as the model for all the rest.
