Program

Joseph Haydn, Lord Nelson Mass

Ralph Vaughan Williams, Dona Nobis Pacem

Frank London, Librettist, Judith Sloan, Final Anthem from 1001 Voices: A Symphony for a New America

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 200+ high school and middle school singers from across the area, offering a vision of harmony and hope for the future.
