9/11 Memorial Concert – September 9, 2006

Marking the fifth anniversary of 9/11, the Mission Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Emily Ray, and the San Jose Symphonic Choir, directed by Leroy Kromm, present Mozart's Requiem under the beautiful dome of the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Joseph on Saturday, September 9, 2006, 8:00p. In a fitting tribute to the 9/11 victims, Terry Vosbein's A Prayer for Peace, written in reaction to the events of that tragic day, will be performed, and mezzo soprano Sherri Phelps will be featured in Craig Bohmler's evocative Songs of Loss. Free pre-concert lecture begins at 7:00p. Dan Leeson, author of Opus Ultimum: The Story of the Mozart Requiem, will lecture before the concert.
