On Saturday, February 15th, Key Chorale along, with a full orchestra, will present Verdi’s Requiem, a darkly dramatic 90-minute emotional roller coaster ride. NPR called it “one of the most sublime and terrifying works in the repertoire.” Few works in classical music offer the excitement of opera, the thrill of the symphony, the power of the chorus and glorious virtuosic solos. Experience a truly epic performance, with Maestro Caulkins leading four world-class opera soloists and over 150 musicians on stage. “This is such a monumental work, full of drama and excitement,” said Maestro Caulkins. “Key Chorale last performed this work under the direction of Dr. Daniel Moe as his last concert as Artistic Director. So, it has a special historical importance to Key Chorale and was an obvious choice for our 40th Anniversary season. It is a tour de force for the choir and a stunningly powerful masterwork to share with our community.”
