We celebrate Director Lee R. Kesselman’s final Chorale concert, after 41 years, with two monumental works for chorus and orchestra. First the Chorale will sing the premiere of Kesselman’s own Remember Us, a major work based on words from the unheard voices of our American past and present. The concert concludes with Mozart’s final dramatic work, Requiem Mass.
