Come hear Lyric Opera soloists in Naperville, as Lyric singers Elyse Kakacek, Michelle Wrighte, John Concepcion, and Franco Pomponi perform with the Naperville Chorus in a concert of Joseph Haydn’s “Mass in Time of War” and John Rutter’s “Requiem.”
The Naperville Chorus is excited to present this concert evoking themes of "War and Peace" with its new Music Director, Reid Taylor and internationally acclaimed Lyric Opera soloists. "Mass in Time of War" was a declaration of faith and hope for Haydn's native Vienna as Napoleon's army advanced on the city. Pounding kettle drums in Haydn's mass echo booms of Napoleon's cannons, while the softer, lyrical themes of Rutter's "Requiem" speak of comfort and peace. The Naperville Festival Orchestra, some of whose members also play with the Lyric and Chicago symphonies, will accompany the concert.

The Chorus gratefully acknowledges the support of the Special Events and Cultural Amenities (SECA) Fund of Naperville, the Illinois Arts Council Agency, and many wonderful donors in our community.
