Join us for a concert designed to inspire peace and unity in challenging times. Haydn’s Nelson Mass, written during a period of strife in Europe, will be followed by Vaughan Williams’s Dona Nobis Pacem, a heartfelt plea for peace that masterfully combines words from the Latin Mass with poetry by Walt Whitman. The concert will conclude with the final anthem from 1001 Voices: A Symphony for a New America, a project of earsay (composer Frank London/ librettist Judith Sloan) 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 over 200 high school and middle school singers from across the area, offering a vision of harmony and hope for the future.
