Hudson Chorale’s upcoming January 2020 program is a choral singer’s dream, featuring the rock stars of the 18th-19th century composing world and some of their most beloved creations: Beethoven’s Mass in C, Haydn’s Paukenmesse (Mass in Time of War), and Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus. This celebration of German music will take place on January 25 & 26, 2020 at the magnificent Chapel at Maryknoll in Ossining. Our Spring 2020 concert will celebrate our Hudson Valley heritage with English, Dutch and American hymns and folk songs.
