Sun, Feb 14th @ 4:00 pm — Sauder Concert Hall

This annual Sauder Concert Hall performance, presenting collaborations with the Camerata Singers and Goshen College Choirs, continues one of the Symphony’s most cherished traditions while elevating the scale and ambition to extraordinary heights.

Comparable in emotional scope and significance to monumental works such as Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony, and Mozart’s Requiem, Verdi’s masterpiece combines operatic intensity with spiritual gravity in a work that remains among the most overwhelming live experiences in classical music.

The performance will feature soloists Jenny Ribeiro and Goshen College faculty members Roz Woll and Scott Hochstetler. The Camerata Singers will additionally be featured as an ensemble—performing their own work—with the support of the Symphony, further highlighting the collaborative spirit at the heart of the evening.

With its thunderous drama, immense vocal demands, and deeply human emotional range, Verdi Requiem stands as one of the defining artistic statements of the season—and one of the largest productions the Symphony has undertaken in recent years.

Sat, Feb 20th @ 7:30 pm — Sauder Concert Hall
