St. Joseph Community Chorus Opens 45th Anniversary Season with Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass
St. Joseph, MO – The St. Joseph Community Chorus (SJCC) proudly begins its 45th anniversary season with a performance of Joseph Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass on Sunday, October 12, at 3:00 PM at the beautiful St. James Catholic Church, 5814 King Hill Ave., St. Joseph.
This concert will feature the 65-voice chorus joined by full orchestra under the direction of Dr. Timothy Tharaldson. Written in 1798 during a time of political upheaval, Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass is considered one of his most dramatic and triumphant choral works, blending moments of solemnity with exultant choruses of hope and praise.
The concert will showcase four outstanding guest soloists: soprano, Alyssa Nance, mezzo-soprano, Deanna Eberhart; tenor and St. Joseph native, Matthew Bobela, and Andrew Finken, bass.
