Flushing Community Chorus: Mozart’s Requiem

The Schiller Institute will present Mozart’s Requiem at a series of performances this September in honor of the victims of the tragic attacks of September 11, 2001. This incredible last work of Mozart is an appropriate offering in memorial for the almost 3000 people who died that day. We also present it as a tribute to the families of the victims, many of whom have fought tirelessly for justice against the perpetrators of those evil acts.

We seek sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses who wish to participate in the rehearsal process and concert(s). Our chorus will also be working on several American Negro Spirituals, which will be presented at smaller concerts over the summer. The Schiller Institute has several choruses in the New York area, all of which will come together for this great event. Brooklyn is our newest chorus, so now is great time to jump in!

Here is a most recent concert:
