Our Fall 2018 concert, Magnificat, gives singers a chance to explore some of the texts of the season. The Magnificat is a hymn expressing joy and thanksgiving, sung by the Virgin Mary. We sing settings of this beautiful song of Mary by four different composers, each creating a work reflective of his era and culture. In addition, we will sing other works appropriate for this joyous time of year.
