Arlington Chorale: Through Troubled Times
Sat, Mar 19 | 5pm | Westover Baptist Church | Westover Village
In March 2020, the Arlington Chorale prepared Ola Gjeilo’s "Song of the Universal" and Franz Joseph Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass to be performed on March 14th, 2020. Originally named Missa in Angustiis (Mass in Troubled Times), the title proved to be unfortunately appropriate over two hundred and twenty years after it was written. Two days before the Chorale concert was to take place, concerts in Arlington and around the world were cancelled due to the coronavirus. Two years later, we invite you to experience the Chorale performing these stunning works with orchestra. Filled with dark dramatic moments and soaring beautiful melodies, these choral masterpieces will leave you filled with a sense of optimism and hope! More
