Andover Choral Society presents the Mozart Requiem
The Andover Choral Society
celebrates its 85th season with its first concert under the baton of
new music director, Michael Driscoll, on Sunday, January 26, 2014 at 3 p.m. at
the Rogers Center for the Arts at Merrimack College, 315 Turnpike St., North
Andover, MA. The program will begin with one of Mozart’s earliest choral works,
the exuberant Te Deum, written when
the composer was just 13 years old, followed by the sumptuous Ave Verum Corpus for strings and organ.
The program concludes with Mozart’s tragic and triumphant final work, the Requiem in D minor. The chorus will perform Harvard musicologist
Robert Levin’s 2004 completion of the work, along with a professional orchestra
and Boston-area soloists, Susan Consoli, Deborah Rentz-Moore, Charles Blandy,
and Robert Honeysucker.

concert is sponsored, in part, by a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural
Council.
