Join us as we celebrate our 20th season by honoring the bedrock of our past and championing the bright future of choral music. The celebration opens with the world premiere of a new commission by our Artistic Director Emeritus, Robert Shafer, followed by the East Coast premiere of Tarik O’Regan’s kaleidoscopic Critical Mass - a work that began as a commission for the coronation of King Charles III. The concert concludes with the pure, transcendent majesty of Mozart’s Vesperae solennes de confessore, featuring soloists from the Wolf Trap Opera Studio. Don't miss this spectacular concert—the perfect, inspiring launch for our 2026–2027 season!
