Join us for a concert meant to inspire peace and unity in challenging times. Haydn's Nelson Mass, written during a time of strife in Europe, is followed by Vaughan Williams's Dona Nobis Pacem, a plea for peace that masterfully juxtaposes words from the Latin Mass with poetry by Walt Whitman. The concert concludes with the final anthem from 1001 Voices: A Symphony for a New America, which reimagines Emma Lazarus's famous poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty as an alternative national anthem. QCCS will be joined by high school & middle school choirs from throughout the area in a vision of harmony and hope for the future.
