The Christmas portion of Handel's Messiah has become the traditional season-opener for the New Choral Society. Filled with familiar and uplifting choruses and solos, it is a festive way to begin the holiday season with family and friends. As always, we will conclude with the famous "Hallelujah Chorus."

Gioachino Rossini

Stabat Mater

Rossini's Stabat Mater was composed during a time in Rossini's life when he had withdrawn from composing for the stage. Most know for his opera buffa, he never believed he could write sacred music. But the succes of this work, with its soulful orchestral opening, beautifullly crafted melodies, and dramatic double fugue ending, proves that Rossini was indeed inspired when he composed this magnificent work.
