A German Requiem

Together with the Quincy Symphony Orchestra, we brought this timeless piece to life in our city. As the transcendent beauty of A German Requiem comes to Quincy, it’s important to note that this requiem is unlike any other you might know. From musical notation to orchestration, A German Requiem brings the connection to humanity to the forefront of the profound masterwork.

Messiah

We celebrate a long-time tradition of singing with our friends at Eastern Nazarene College with an uplifting performance of Handel’s most beloved oratorio. A cherished tradition in many countries, Messiah tells the story of Christ’s birth, passion, resurrection, through sublime choruses, stirring arias, and majestic orchestration.
