Join us in celebrating this year’s historic marriage equality victory with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s radiant Exsultate Jubilate and musical rejoicings by American composers on the poetry of Walt Whitman, E. E. Cummings, and African American spirituals. Don't miss the chance to hear Leaving Limerick by composer Pablo Ortiz, on a poem by US Inaugural Poet Richard Blanco, commissioned for and premiered by Coro Allegro at the Terezin Foundation Liberation GALA. Then experience the profoundly moving and transcendent power of Mozart’s Requiem, as we remember those who struggled for but never saw this day and the great, unfinished work of human rights worldwide.
