Verdi's Requiem March 4 at Norwalk Concert Hall

David Rosenmeyer conducts the Fairfield County Chorale and the New Haven Symphony Orchestra in Verdi’s Messa da Requiem on Saturday, March 4^th at 7:30pm in Norwalk Concert Hall in Norwalk.

Experience the power of Verdi's operatic masterpiece in an exciting collaboration between the Fairfield County Chorale's 100+ voices, four talented soloists and the New Haven Symphony Orchestra (William Boughton, music director). The Messa da Requiem is one of the most popular and frequently performed large chorale works.

“We are thrilled to be performing with such a magnificent symphony. The Requiem explores the full range of human emotions through its poetic language and music. Moments of great intimacy, tenderness, love and loss are paired with vigorous rhythms, sublime melodies and striking musical gestures. Our special collaboration with the New Haven Symphony enhances and deepens the complex intensity of this important work,” said FCC music director David Rosenmeyer. 

Soloists to be featured are soprano Amanda Hall, mezzo-soprano Kirstin Chavez, tenor Alex Richardson, and baritone Nathan Stark.
