(May 31, 2011) – The 2010‐2011 season will conclude with a performance of Verdi’s Requiem, featuring soprano Angela Meade, mezzo‐soprano Eve Gigliotti, tenor Roger Honeywell, and bass‐baritone Alfred Walker, supported by The Washington Chorus and led by Music Director Marin Alsop on Thursday, June 9 at 8 p.m., Friday, June 10 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, June 12 at 3 p.m. at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall and Saturday, June 11 at 8 p.m. at the Music Center at Strathmore. Please see below for complete program details. Verdi composed Messa di Requiem in 1873. It is an epic musical setting of the Roman Catholic funeral mass, written as a memorial for the great Italian poet and novelist Alessandro Manzoni Verdi admired Manzoni, who’s works helped forge an Italian national identity. The work was premiered in 1874 at the San Marco Church in Milan during the first anniversary of Manzoni’s death. Joining the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra to perform this epic work is The Washington Chorus, under the direction of Julian Wachner. Back by popular demand, the Chorus collaborated with the BSO for last season’s finale concert of Brahms’ German Requiem. Also led by Maestra Alsop, The Baltimore Sun praised, “[Alsop] summoned considerable beauty of expression‐‐and plenty of power for the score’s few heated moments – from the BSO and the Washington Chorus.” Marin Alsop, conductor Hailed as one of the world’s leading conductors for her artistic vision and commitment to accessibility in classical music, Marin Alsop made history with her appointment as the 12th music director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. -

“Parisian Spring” at Kennedy Center
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 4, 2016 CONTACT: The Washington Chorus (202) 342-6221 [email protected] The Washington Chorus Presents “Parisian Spring” at Kennedy Center Washington (DC) ‐ On Sunday, May 1, 2016, The Washington Chorus (TWC) will present a concert entitled “Parisian Spring” in which it will celebrate the French aesthetic through the music of French composers Maurice Duruflé, Gabriel Fauré and Louis Vierne, as well as a piece composed by TWC’s Music Director Julian Wachner. The concert will take place at 5:00 PM in the Concert Hall of The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. In addition, the program will feature the renowned organist and composer Thierry Escaich on the Kennedy Center’s Rubenstein Family Organ. Joining on the program will be the Washington National Cathedral Choir of Boys and Girls. Tickets for the concert are priced from $18 - $72 and may be purchased by calling The Washington Chorus Box Office at (202) 342-6221 or ordering securely online at www.thewashingtonchorus.org. Two major works by Maurice Duruflé will bookend the evening. The concert will open with Duruflé’s Messe Cum Jubilo, performed by the men’s sections of the chorus and Mr. Escaich, and will close with the Duruflé Requiem, performed by the entire chorus, Cathedral choir, and Mr. Escaich. Both of these major works, written in 1966 and 1947 respectively, are, like all of Duruflé’s choral works, based on the French Catholic chant tradition which is the basis for the modern French aesthetic. The Requiem, for example, began as a set of organ improvisations based on the Gregorian chants used in the Mass for the Dead. -

Opera Mcgill – Lisl Wirth Black Box Festival November 21, 22, 23 and 24, 2007 Pollack Hall
Schulich School of Music of McGill University Concerts and Publicity 555 Sherbrooke Street West Montreal, Quebec H3A 1E3 Phone: (514) 398-5530 Fax: (514) 398-5514 PRESS RELEASE Opera McGill – Lisl Wirth Black Box festival November 21, 22, 23 and 24, 2007 Pollack Hall Albert Herring Benjamin Britten For immediate release November 19, 2007 – Opera McGill opens its 2007-2008 with Albert Herring by Benjamin Britten on November 21, 22, 23 and 24, at 7:30 p.m. in Pollack Hall for its Lisl Wirth Black Box Festival. Tickets for this production are $10 ($5 seniors and students) and are available at the Pollack Hall Box Office, Monday through Friday, 12:00 (noon) to 6:00 p.m., (514) 398-4547. With this production Opera McGill welcomes its new director, Patrick John Hansen, who will stage direct the cast of 13 students, including 3 children. From the orchestra pit, Julian Wachner, Opera McGill’s principal conductor, will conduct the singers and the small ensemble of 13 musicians as indicated by the composer. Comic opera in three acts, Op. 39, by Benjamin Britten to a libretto by Eric Crozier, after Guy de Maupassant’s short story Le rosier de Madame Husson, Albert Herring has been premiered on June 20, 1947 at Glyndebourne by the English Opera Group, an independent and progressive opera company launched by Britten and Crozier, with Peter Pears in the title role and Joan Cross as Lady Billow. “There are a number of themes being played out in this delightful libretto: Victorian fixation on morality, the British pre-occupation with correctness, judging persons strictly on their appearances, sexual repression (or lack thereof) in the countryside of Suffolk in 1900, and how to sever the apron string’s of not only a mother figure but society’s strings as well… Albert Herring is an opera that continues to amuse audience from production to production because of its terrific libretto and Britten’s magnificent genius of a score. -
