Join us for an evening of profound musical expression as the Northwestern University Symphony Orchestra and Choirs present a captivating performance under the baton of conductors Donald Schleicher and Andrew Megill. This special event will take place on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at 7:30pm CDT in the esteemed Pick-Staiger Concert Hall.

The evening's program is set to immerse the audience in the depths of spiritual and emotional exploration, featuring Ludwig van Beethoven's Mass in C Major, Op. 86, and Ralph Vaughan Williams' Dona nobis pacem. Beethoven's Mass in C Major, a deeply personal work that navigates the realms of doubt and faith, showcases the composer's unique ability to convey profound emotion through music. Complementing this, Vaughan Williams' Dona nobis pacem serves as an impassioned plea for peace, resonating with its premiere's historical context and the looming fears of global conflict in 1936.

The performance will spotlight the talents of soloists Kylie Buckham and Calista Smith (soprano), Giada Barney (alto), Matthew Sink (tenor), Wesley Diener (baritone), and Spencer Greene (bass), alongside the combined forces of the Bienen Contemporary/Early Vocal Ensemble, University Chorale, University Singers, and Northwestern Camerata.

Tickets are available for purchase at $12 for the general public and $6 for students with a valid ID. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the power of classical music to convey the deepest human emotions and desires for peace and understanding.

Location: Pick-Staiger Concert Hall, 50 Arts Cir Dr, Evanston, IL 60208, United States. For more information and to secure your tickets, please visit our website.
