Join us as Boise Phil’s Allison Emerick, Del Parkinson, and Brendan Shea take center stage for the famous Concerto No. 5.

The Boise Phil Master Chorale joins the Boise Phil to perform Mozart’s transcendental Requiem. Left incomplete at the time of Mozart’s death on December 5, 1791, it is arguably one of his most famous works, delving into the themes of life and death and featuring some of the most emotionally moving music ever composed.

Join Huddersfield Choral Society for The Dream of Gerontius, reckoned by many to be the Great English Oratorio. The text, by John Henry Newman, is a poetic meditation on the last moments of the Everyman figure, Gerontius, and his soul’s subsequent journey.

The 19th century’s most enduring oratorio, Mendelssohn’s Elijah, sung here in English, depicts the story of the biblical prophet Elijah, complete with his ascent to heaven on a flaming chariot. James Conlon leads the assembled forces, including Chicago favorite Lucas Meachem in the mighty title role and the Chicago Symphony Chorus performing the work’s pensive and ecstatic ensembles.

The season of seasons closes by honoring the themes of light, love, and rebirth through acclaimed works by Pergolesi, Scarlatti, Bach, and Vivaldi. In Vivaldi’s “Summer,” the cuckoo, dove, and goldfinch sing in the blazing sun before the winds begin to blow. Following an homage to Scarlatti, including his Salve Regina in G Minor, we conclude with a work that he inspired; Pergolessi’s final masterpiece, Stabat Mater. Its dancing rhythms and decorative trills contrast effectively with the tender, passionate text sung by soprano Anna Dennis, rounding out the season with a sense of joy and hope.

Haydn was already famous when he wrote his Creation late in life. With it, he somewhat rescued the Oratorio from obscurity with its unusual combination of drama and music. His orchestrations were sung in a way no other composer dared at this time. Doves coo, leviathans roar, and the sun itself appears in the sky for the first time, accompanied by Haydn's brilliant orchestral choices.

“From the heart, may it again go to the heart,” an inspired Beethoven wrote above the opening “Kyrie” in the manuscript of his greatest choral work, the Missa Solemnis. The Washington Chorus and remarkable guest soloists Erika Grimaldi, Rihab Chaieb, Saimir Pirgu, and Marko Mimica join the NSO for this infrequently performed epic mass—a vast symphonic statement of mysticism,  drama, and sacred intimacy.

You don’t need sets or costumes (or even live elephants!) to appreciate the magnitude and wonder of Aida, Verdi’s tumultuous tale of love and loyalty set in Ancient Egypt. All you need is a prima donna as spectacular as soprano Angel Blue, whose “voice perforated the hearts of her listeners and miraculously captured the tortured oscillations of Aida’s existence perfectly” (OperaWire), reported after a concert production led by BSO Music Director Jonathon Heyward with the Detroit Opera. This concert adaptation allows the beauty and drama of the original opera to soar on the symphonic stage.

Vibrant baroque music sounds especially good in the acoustics of Olavinlinna. We experience delicacy and richness at the same time, a bit like the fluffy wigs of the courtiers, or like macarons.

Paul McCartney? The Beatle? Composer of an oratorio? Of course! In 1991, McCartney composed this large-scale choral work, which premiered in Liverpool Cathedral that same year. To kick off the season and under the direction of Christopher Ward, members of the opera ensemble, together with the Aachen Opera Choir and the Aachen Symphony Choir, will perform this extraordinary work in the spa park.
