SANCTUS Exploring 2 Millenia of Musical Sanctus Settings 5/17/08 NYC

The Riverside Choral Society is excited to announce our spring concert: SANCTUS.

The concert features seven settings of the Sanctus, including: the entire FJ Haydn Heligmesse, settings by Villa-Lobos, William Albright, and Jan Sandström, Mendelssohn’s and a traditional setting of Heilig, as well as Handel’s masterpiece motet, Silete Venti. It will be a delight for those who appreciate classical vocal music presented by one of New York City’s leading vocal ensembles accompanied by full orchestra, and a fascinating, inspiring exploration of the sanctus and sacred texts.


Riverside Choral Society, now in its 27th year, has gained a reputation as one of New York City’s premier choruses. In addition to its regular concert season under the baton of Dr. Patrick Gardner, RCS is frequently chosen as guest ensemble. Most recently Dr. Gardner prepared the chorus to join the Mannes Orchestra in Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms at Carnegie Hall November 2007. In 2005 and 2006 RCS appeared with Kirov Opera Orchestra and the Rotterdam Philharmonic under the baton of Valery Gergiev for six concerts at Lincoln Center and NJPAC, including performances of Mahler’s Second Symphony and Shostakovich’s Symphonies 2, 3, and 13. In recent years RCS has also appeared regularly at Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival, and has been featured in collaborations with the Mark Morris Dance Company and at special events at the Museum of Jewish Heritage.
