The concert will feature some of Beethoven’s best choral and symphonic pieces, including “Hallelujah” from “The Mount of Olives,” “Fantasia for Piano, Chorus and Orchestra,” “Op 80” and “Mass in C Major, Op 86.”
Established in 1974, The Dudley Birder Chorale is composed of more than 150 adult singers, from more than 30 communities in northeast Wisconsin, who come together to sing choral masterworks every year.
