Vso Chorus 20th Anniv. at The Paramount Theatre

This season we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the VSO Chorus and Robert De Cormier’s tenure as director. It seems fitting to reprise a piece that was programmed on the Chorus’s inaugural concert: Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms, about which the composer rhymed: “These psalms are a simple and modest affair/Tonal and tuneful and somewhat square.” The Bernstein is paired with the Brahms Requiem, a transcendent work which the orchestra looks forward to revisiting. Join us as we honor our venerable and venerated choral director--and the outstanding chorus that is his legacy to the VSO--in a program that’s sure to be the emotional high point of the season.
