The Everett Philharmonic and Everett Chorale join forces in an epic season finale of music by Bernstein and Mozart. We’ll open with Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms, a captivating composition that weaves together ancient Hebrew texts with Christian choral tradition and Bernstein’s signature melodies for orchestra. Seven percussionists, six brass and two harps join forces with strings and choir to perform a piece that resonates with themes of unity, faith, and harmony, and invites listeners to reflect on their relationship with the divine.

After intermission we’ll hear Mozart’s ruminations on mortality and the divine. Mozart’s last composition, the Requiem, is an intensely personal reflection on grief and loss. Woodwinds, brass and strings combine for rich and evocative sonic tapestry while the choir gives voice to thoughts on mortality, judgment and eternal rest.

Joining us for this glorious concert of divine harmony and passion will be vocal soloists Drew Simons, Maria Mannisto, Erica Convery, Zach Finkelstein, and Mark Davies. Dr. Heather MacLaughlin Garbes will also join us to conduct Chichester Psalms and pass the baton to our celebrated music director Dr. Paul-Elliott Cobbs for the Requiem.
