Our first concert of the season! The collaboration between True Concord and has to be heard to be believed!

Maurice Duruflé's Requiem, Op. 9 is one of the most widely beloved choral masterpieces of the 20th Century. Composed in 1947 and based on Gregorian plainchant, its nine movements speak to eternal themes in a way that resonates in the present day.

The historic collaboration of True Concord and Phoenix Chorale will produce an unforgettable performance of the Requiem you won't want to miss, along with Jeremy Filsell on Catalina United Methodist Church's Quimby organ, and soloists Holly Sheppard, mezzo-soprano (Phoenix Chorale) and Edward Vogel, baritone (True Concord).

It's Grammy season, and True Concord congratulates all of our fellow organizations and many of our musicians whose excellent albums are up for consideration!

True Concord's album, A Dream So Bright: Choral Music of Jake Runestad, has been placed for consideration in five categories, including Best Choral Performance. Please see the link below for all the information.

True Concord opens its 21st Season with an exciting collaboration between two GRAMMY Award-honored ensembles, True Concord and Phoenix Chorale. Luxuriate in the power and plush vocalism of 48 singers from the two ensembles, performing together for the first time, with Christopher Gabbitas and Eric Holtan each at the podium.
