2015-2016 Concert Season

Collegium Cincinnati is Ensemble-In-Residence at Christ Church Cathedral in downtown Cincinnati. There's a lot of great things going on there and we hope you visit their website (by clicking here)!

Picture
Mozart's Requiem is perhaps one of the most iconic pieces of choral-orchestral music, especially since it was featured as a plot point in the 1984 movie Amadeus. Mozart died before he could finish the work, leaving his student - and many others since - to complete the masterpiece.

The program will open with two short concert arias sung by our stellar soloists for the evening, Andrew Jones & Alexandra Schoeny!

The Requiem will be sung by the SummerSing 2016 Chorus.

Program:
Misero! O sogno, o son desto? K. 431
Andrew Jones, Tenor

Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio K. 418

This is Bach’s St. John Passion like you’ve never heard it before

With just nine outstanding singers and an world-class orchestra, you’ll hear Bach’s first passion the way he intended it.

The story of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus is told through the incredibly powerful music of the world’s greatest composer – J.S. Bach. Bach’s St. John Passion is exciting, frightening, and heart-wrenching.

Set in the beautiful Christ Church Cathedral, this is an afternoon you won’t want to miss.

Now you can have a chance to hear it as you would have in 1724 – when Bach originally composed it.

What does that mean?

First, YOU are invited to join us in singing the chorales!

That’s right! In Bach’s time, the congregation would have known many of the  tunes by heart, and would have joined in singing them, so we’re offering you the same chance! There will be a short optional rehearsal before the concert when you can brush up on your melodies.

But don’t worry – you don’t have to sing if you don’t want to!

Instead, come early for an organ prelude – just like one that would have been heard in Leipzig a few centuries ago.
