Verdi's Requiem was performed by Chorus North Shore on June 1, 2012. I am very happy that I was able to sing Second Tenor in the chorus. Sonya Dahlgren Pryor, the conductor, has received the Lifetime Achievement Award for her 50 years of musical service to New England. The clip can be played by clicking the link below:

Fr. John, thanks for pointing us to this beautiful performance although I believe it was not a mere performance but an act of love and devotion to our Lord. You must have felt very privileged to honour God in sharing your gift of song.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lynda. It certainly felt like a funerary song for me as I had just received word of my new assignment.
