Stephen Alltop, conductor; Eric Budzynski, organ; Alice Millar Chapel Choir and soloists; Northwestern University Symphony Orchestra
A concert of sublime and exciting music in the majestic splendor of Alice Millar Chapel. The pillars of this program will be two works by Joseph Haydn. The Great Organ Solo Mass intertwines sparkling lines for the chamber organ with beautiful passages for solo voices, chorus, and orchestra. The Symphony No. 97 in C Major, one of Haydn’s London Symphonies of 1792, is a joyous showcase for orchestra. Rounding out the concert is Eric Whitacre’s soaring choral work, Alleluia.
