Orchestra Iowa: “Missa Solemnis”

Additional Information

Orchestra Iowa is proud to continue our mission of serving our great state in this partnership with the combined choruses of Simpson College (College Chamber Singers and the Simpson College Choir) and the Des Moines Vocal Arts Ensemble. Written during the same time as his ninth symphony, Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis is widely considered to be one of his supreme achievements, and one of the greatest monuments in the symphonic/choral literature. Rarely heard in live performance, this concert represents yet another first in Orchestra Iowa’s 94-year-old concert history. The performance features Mary Wilson, soprano; Renée Rapier, mezzo soprano; Eric Barry, tenor; Sumner Thompson, bass

Enjoy an "INSIGHT" session prior to the performance presented by Maestro Hankewich, guiding patrons through the historical, cultural, and personal issues related to the program.
