20250411 - Chorus and Glee Club Return from Tour Concert

Join the Cornell Chorus and Glee Club for the valedictory concert on their European Tour, performed after returning to Ithaca. This program is the apex of the choirs' work this year, and includes four centuries of repertoire from around the world. The choirs will perform works by Piotr Ilych Tchaikovsky, Heinrich Schütz, Alice Parker, Vittoria Alleoti, Caroline Shaw, Modesta Bor, Hyo-won Woo, Cedric Dent, and Edward Bairstow. The concert's centerpiece is Frank Martin's devastating, glorious, and highly intricate Mass for Double Choir, a piece the composer hid for four decades as he considered it to be a devotion too powerful and personal to share with the public.
