Mozart's dramatic Requiem is the stuff of legend. Written literally at fever pitch, this was Mozart's last work and is one of the greatest settings of this great text. The Santa Cruz Chorale is joined by guest soloists and orchestra to present this brilliant gem of the choral repertoire.
Completing the program are chorale cantatas by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.
The chorale performs choral works of diverse periods, genres and traditions, both unaccompanied and using professional soloists, instrumental ensemble and orchestra. The Santa Cruz Chorale makes such music accessible to the broadest possible audiences while enabling member singers to experience the delight and artistic growth inherent to sophisticated music-making.
The Santa Cruz Chorale is sponsored in part by a grant from the Cultural Council of Santa Cruz County.
