On Good Friday (March 29), at 7:00 pm, the MPC Choir will present their spring major choral work: a performance of Mozart’s Requiem. This date was chosen as the best setting for Mozart’s heart-wrenching, soul-stirring musical response to the human realities of suffering and death. For this performance, the MPC Choir will be joined by singers from several other Bay Area choirs, including the Oakland Symphony Chorus, the UC Alumni Chorus, the Pacific Boychoir, and other area church choirs. Our orchestra and quartet of professional vocal soloists are particularly fine this year. The choir been rehearsing and living with this astonishing music for the past two months, and we look forward to sharing it with you at the end of our communal Lenten journey.
All are welcome to join us for this free performance.
