A National Requiem of Remembrance

In the spirit of peace and the healing power of music, the Oakland Symphony Chorus, conducted by Dr. Lynne Morrow, with the Oakland Civic Orchestra and members of the Pacific Boychoir will offer a free, participatory concert of Mozart’s Requiem at the Cathedral of Christ the Light, in Oakland. To provide Americans nationwide with the opportunity to personally commemorate the tenth anniversary in their own hometowns, choral groups across the country will take part in the 9/11/11 Project: A National Requiem of Remembrance.

We will raise our voices to:
• honor the almost 3,000 innocent victims, who died on the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Flight 93.
• console all those who lost loved ones, friends, and co-workers.
• express our deepest gratitude to the brave men and women who as first-responders risked their lives to help 25,000 people escape from those fateful buildings.

Four superb soloists, soprano Patricia Littman, alto Elizabeth Eliassen, tenor Gabriel Cohen, bass Avi Jacobson, and singers from the Pacific Boychoir will donate their considerable talents to the Requiem. Rounding out the program, Rudy de Vos, organist, will offer Howells “Psalm Prelude, Op. 32 No. 3.” Oakland’s Mayor Jean Quan and Oakland Sister Cities will be in attendance for this special occasion. There will be a post-concert floral tribute and moment of silence on the Cathedral Plaza led Father Jayson Landeza, Oakland Fire and Police Chaplain.

Singers from around the Bay Area are invited to raise their voices with the Oakland Symphony Chorus, (please bring your own score; there will NOT be scores to lend for this event) and all others are welcome to attend to be part of this free, inspirational event. Please join us.

When: Sunday, September 11, 2011, 5:30pm
Where: Cathedral of Christ the Light, 2121 Harrison, Oakland
Concert is free and open to the public
