The Nashoba Valley Chorale performs the Verdi Requiem!
WHERE AND WHEN DOES IT HAPPEN? On April 23, 2016, at 8pm the Verdi Requiem will be performed in the Acton-Boxborough Regional High School Auditorium.
WHO ARE THE PERFORMERS? The Nashoba Valley Chorale and Symphony New Hampshire, along with Celeste Fraser, soprano, Erica Brookhyser, mezzo-soprano, John David Nevergall, tenor, and Dana Whiteside, bass, will come together for a magnificent performance of this gorgeous work.
WHY THE VERDI REQUIEM?To sing, and play, and conduct this work is the dream of many a musician – it is a piece of drama, operatic yet with a deeply spiritual center. It has moments when the entire 70+ piece orchestra is playing with the 4 soloists and 125 voices of the Chorale, all at once; and it has moments where two voices only sing. And every moment in it serves to illustrate the marvelous ancient text of the Requiem Mass. This is a dream that can seem out of reach due to the difficulty of the work and the challenge of assembling all of the people needed to perform it. The Nashoba Valley Chorale has been working toward this performance for a few years, as each of our seasons has seen us attract more singers and larger audiences.
