We acknowledge what the pandemic has taught us, that crises are weathered “with a little help from my friends,” to quote The Beatles. Collaboration, then, underpins every performance, which allows us to present many works that might otherwise be outside our repertoire, but which were created for a chamber ensemble of singers and instrumentalists. Towering figures of classical music are celebrated, while our continuing commitment to women composers and new works remains undimmed.
Masterworks like Vivaldi's Gloria, Fauré's Requiem, and Tchaikovsky's Vespers are complemented with classic suites based on dance by Brahms and Elgar. Brand new works from Melissa Dunphy, Sasha Johnson Manning, and Mårten Jansson prove that choral music remains a vital and evolving art form. And the Chorus goes back 'on the road' to explore some of St. Louis's best acoustics in six spectacular venues.
Please join us in person with our COVID safety plan in place. Check here for the most up-to-date information.

The Days of Wine and Roses
First Congregational Church of Webster Groves
10 W. Lockwood Ave, Webster Groves, 63119
St. Valentine would approve of this celebration of love in many forms, thanks to the Neue Liebesliederwalzer (op. 65) of Johannes Brahms and Elgar’s choral dances From the Bavarian Highlands. Love is never far from the music of Elaine Hagenberg and the “rose songs” of Morten Lauridsen.

Celebrations and Memorials
First Presbyterian Church
100 E. Adams Ave, Kirkwood, 63122
Even in the depths of the Second World War, the Hungarian master Zoltan Kodaly expressed his faith and his hope in a startlingly original Missa Brevis. Its demands for a grand organ accompaniment are met by the magnificent Casavant instrument at First Presbyterian Church. Kodaly’s sacred fervor is offset by secular part-songs from Clare Maclean and Mårten Jansson.
