Singers from across the country will join the SF chorus on Aug. 16 to perform the beloved choral work.
The group is named Grand Prix winner at the Leonardo da Vinci Choral Festival in Florence, Italy.
The concert ranges from opera to the Butterfly Lovers’ Concerto to Stravinsky’s Firebird, reflecting the festival’s variety.
Mendelssohn’s first masterpiece and Haydn’s final work, his Harmoniemesse, make for a joyous opening night.
As in years past, anyone can stream the world’s oldest and largest music festival for free at home.
