SUMMARY:Fall 2026 Chorale Term
DESCRIPTION:About the Great Bend Chorale:\nThe Great Bend Chorale is an award-winning\, un-auditioned choral ensemble open to all\, age 14 and older\, regardless of skill level or training. Led by Great Bend Center for Music’s founder and Artistic Director\, Matthew Melendez\, the ensemble specializes in transformative choral-orchestral performances presented alongside professional teaching artists\, creating opportunities for singers of every experience level to perform some of the world’s greatest masterworks. \nThe Great Bend Chorale opens its 2026–27 season with one of the most profound works ever composed: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem in D Minor\, performed with full orchestra. Left unfinished at the composer’s death and completed by his student Franz Xaver Süssmayr\, the Requiem has captivated audiences for more than two centuries with its extraordinary emotional depth—moving from terror and grief to consolation\, mercy\, and hope. Complementing this monumental masterpiece are two beloved gems of the sacred choral repertoire: Anton Bruckner’s luminous Locus Iste\, a serene meditation on sacred space and divine presence\, and Josef Gabriel Rheinberger’s exquisite Abendlied\, whose warm\, flowing harmonies offer a tender evening prayer for peace and protection. Together\, these three works create a concert of breathtaking beauty that explores remembrance\, faith\, and the enduring power of the human voice to comfort\, inspire\, and unite. \nPROGRAM \nBruckner — Locus IsteRheinberger — AbendliedMozart — Requiem in D Minor\, K. 626 \nAttendance & Rehearsals:\nFall term choristers will meet: \n\nTuesdays beginning September 15 at 6:30pm in-person at Faith Lutheran Church.\nSaturday\, Oct 3 for a retreat from 9am – 2pm.\nOrchestra Rehearsal\, Thursday\, November 12 at Faith Lutheran Church\, 6:30-9PM\nConcerts Friday\, November 13 and Sunday afternoon\, November 15\n\nClick here to register!
