With the addition of more singers and instrumentalists we will be performing Emmanuel, a Pasticcio Oratorio using the finest movements from The Mozart Requiem, Brahms Requiem, Mendelssohn Elijah, Bach B Minor Mass, Magnificat and St. Matthew Passion and the Handel Messiah. The melding together of these works into a new oratorio provides performers and listeners with an incredible experience of outstanding sounds. You can be a part of this marvelous experience.
