2010 Concert Season
Forthcoming Concert:
Sunday, March 7, 2010 at 4 PM
Johannes-Passion (St. John Passion)
by the German Baroque composer Heinrich Schütz.
The work is entirely a cappella, and contains a significant amount of solo material in recitative style, which will be sung by chorus members.
The St. Joseph's Singers has been in existence for six years, and in its short history has presented several New York City premieres, one of which was featured as a Critic's Choice in TimeOut Magazine NY.
The chorus was selected to perform an internationally televised concert for the April 2008 visit of Pope Benedict XVI, and is currently under contract to release its first recording on the MSR Classics label.
