Giuseppe Verdi's deeply moving, monumental Messa da Requiem . This first-ever collaborative effort between the QCSO, Oratorio Society, and Choral Arts is the result of careful planning by QCSO conductor Donald Schleicher and Oratorio Society and Choral Arts conductor Jon Hurty. In preparing the choral forces, Dr. Hurty has assembled a select group of 200 voices from the two ensembles. Audiences will have two opportunities to see this spectacular event.
