The
Andover Choral Society celebrates its 85th season with its first
concert under the baton of new music director, Michael Driscoll, on Sunday,
January 26, 2014 at 3 p.m. at the Rogers Center for the Arts at Merrimack
College, 315 Turnpike St., North Andover, MA. The program will begin with one
of Mozart’s earliest choral works, the exuberant Te Deum, written when the composer was just 13 years old, followed
by the sumptuous Ave Verum Corpus for
strings and organ. The program concludes with Mozart’s tragic and triumphant
final work, the Requiem in D minor. The chorus will perform Harvard musicologist
Robert Levin’s 2004 completion of the work, along with a professional orchestra
and Boston-area soloists, Susan Consoli, Deborah Rentz-Moore, Charles Blandy,
and Robert Honeysucker.
Tickets
are $20 for adults and $5 for students. Order tickets on line at

handicapped accessible and the concert is sponsored, in part, by a grant from
the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
