Description
Joseph Schwantner | New Morning for the World: Daybreak of Freedom
W.A. Mozart | Requiem
The HVSO and Cappella Festiva partner again to present a musical journey from tragedy to transcendence. Hear New Morning for the World by Joseph Schwantner, with words from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Next, be immersed in Mozart’s sublime final work, the Requiem. Christine Howlett leads the orchestra and chorus in this stirring program.
This concert is presented in remembrance of Maestro Randall Craig Fleischer, beloved Music Director from 1992-2020. Fleischer planned to conduct this concert with the orchestra in March of 2020. It was the first concert canceled due to the pandemic. We perform it now in his memory.
