VIRTUAL MESSIAH SING
Keeping the tradition alive!
This holiday season may not be the same without our annual Messiah performance – but instead, YOU can be part of the performance! Join us live Sunday, December 13th at 4:00 p.m., when a quartet of spectacular and socially distanced soloists from the Connecticut Choral Artists (CONCORA) leads us in a sing-along of Handel’s beloved masterpiece.
RELIVE PAST PERFORMANCES WITH CONCORA!
We continue to post recordings from different concerts that have taken place over the last five years. We hope you'll enjoy the trip down memory lane-- or perhaps you weren't able to make the concert the first time around, so now you get a second chance!
Welcome to part two in our series of videos from a spectacular concert of music by Maurice Duruflé. Today we feature the second movement from the Requiem, the Kyrie Eleison conducted by Richard Coffey with Larry Allen at the organ. Join us for four minutes of bliss.

In our 2018-19 season, CONCORA joined with the University of Connecticut to present Craig Hella Johnson’s “Considering Matthew Shepard,” a seminal work of loss, pain, anger, and redemption. We are reminded that, as artists, we are not only called upon to present great things, but to also strive to do good things.
“Every one of us. All of us.”

Mass in B Minor Insights
with Artistic Director Chris Shepard
What's my "desert island" piece? Definitely the B Minor Mass! It is a work that can be explored endlessly, revealing staggering details of Bach's musical, theological, philosophical—and above all, humane genius. So rather than do a pre-concert lecture, I thought I'd do a series of audio-only podcasts about the different sections of the Mass. These are between 10 and 20 minutes in length, perfect for a walk or a drive. There will probably be about a dozen episodes in all. I keep the talk of music theory to a minimum, but delve a bit into the ways that Bach encodes important Lutheran theological concepts in the music. Think of it as The DaVinci Code for Bach lovers! Enjoy!
