CSU Stanislaus Concert Chorale & Chamber Singers
Hailed as his most celebrated work, Poulenc’s Gloria envelopes us in a soundscape both ecstatic and ethereal. This concert features the MSO Chorus together with the CSUS Concert Chorale, taking us on a spiritual journey of humanity’s struggle to find meaning out of conflict, and leading us to reconciliation and brotherhood in Beethoven’s monumental Ninth Symphony.
