We’ll sing the magnificent Verdi Requiem with three other major Detroit choirs for a stunning 175-voice choir, full orchestra, and outstanding soloists – featuring Metropolitan Opera mezzo-soprano Irina Mishura - at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament on Woodward in Detroit. The concert will commemorate the 16 performances of the Requiem by the prisoners of the Terezin concentration camp in WWII. Rehearsals begin in February for the Sunday, May 18 concert.
