The magnificent New World Chorale returns to join forces with CHSO for a monumental, transcendent program of spiritual and celebratory masterpieces! The afternoon opens with the brilliant fanfare of Handel’s Royal Fireworks Music, originally commissioned by England’s King George, II. Next, experience the profound power of Bach’s towering cantata, “Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott,” a definitive work from his historic residency in Leipzig.

For the grand finale, guest soloists and the combined forces of chorus and orchestra bring you Igor Stravinsky’s inspired Symphony of Psalms. Written to honor the 50th anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, this deeply moving work serves as the ultimate crown on a season of unmatched symphonic glory.
