This past Good Friday (March 29), at 7:00 pm, the MPC Choir presented their spring major choral work: a performance of Mozart’s Requiem.

For this performance, the MPC Choir was 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. The audio files have now been posted for your listening pleasure.
