Paul HINDEMITH: Mathis der Maler

Joseph HAYDN: Lord Nelson Mass
featuring the Reno Phil Chorus and guest vocalists

The Reno Phil Orchestra and Chorus perform Haydn’s awe-inspiring Lord Nelson Mass as the dramatic conclusion to the 56th Classix season. Immerse yourself in the grandeur and magnificence of this stirring choral piece that showcases a powerful blend of orchestra and voice. The “Mass for Troubled Times” captures both the solemnity and triumph of the human spirit through its majestic melodies and profound religious expression. Known for its dramatic intensity, rich orchestration, and intricate vocal writing and blacklisted by the Nazi regime a month after its premiere, hear Hindemith’s robust symphony from his opera Mathis der Maler. The program opens with the west coast premiere of a new work commissioned by the Taki-Alsop Conducting Fellowship, written by Ukrainian composer Iryna Aleksiychuk.
