A Weekend of Choral and Orchestral Masterworks

Join the University of Delaware Symphony Orchestra, the UD Chorale, and Schola Cantorum for two unforgettable evenings of profound beauty and spiritual depth. Under the direction of conductor Paul Head, these performances bring together nearly 200 musicians to explore two of the most significant works in the choral-orchestral repertoire.





The Program

The evening opens with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Mass in C minor, K. 427. Often referred to as the "Great" Mass, it remains one of Mozart’s most ambitious and beloved works—a stunning fusion of Baroque majesty and operatic grace.

Following intermission, we transition to the contemporary brilliance of Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living. Unlike a traditional requiem for the deceased, Forrest’s five-movement work is a lush, cinematic prayer for peace and rest for those of us still living.
