Boys and Girls Choirs Sing Britten at Yale

This past Wednesday, April 3, at Woolsey Hall, our Boys and Girls Choirs sang an incredible performance of Benjamin Britten's War Requiem with the Yale Symphony Orchestra, Yale Camerata, Yale Glee Club, and the Elm City Girls Choir. The concert will be repeated at St. Bartholomew's Church (New York City) this Sunday, April 7. The work intermingles the text of the Latin Requiem with poetry by Wilfred Owen. The musicians in Woolsey Hall were arranged to provide a 'surround-sound' experience with orchestra on the stage, adult choirs on the first balcony, children's choirs on the second balcony, and a chamber orchestra with soloists on the floor.

These concerts came at a particularly demanding time for our choristers as they have also been preparing for Holy Week, Easter, and Sweet Honey in the Rock. Please join us in congratulating our Boys and Girls Choirs for all their hard work!
