Lacrosse Symphony Orchestra

The wonderful Wisconsin-born soprano Emily Birsan -- now one of Chicago's indispensable classical artists -- returns following her exquisite "St. Cecilia Mass"  for another glorious French confection: Francis Poulenc's fabulous setting of the GLORIA, written in 1960 for the Boston Symphony....and once again, our LSO Assistant Conductor James Wilson will assemble a magnificent symphonic chorus for the occasion! A garland of classic American Holiday favorites graces the evening's first half, culminating in another brilliant return: La Crosse's own piano prodigy Andre Previn Peck, in Prokofiev's glittering First Concerto. John Finnegan's Christmas Sing-Along caps off what will be the perfect Holiday celebration.

In an oratorio by Stradella (1644-1682), Emily will sing the role of Speranza Celeste.

Apollo Chorus Chicago

Join us for one of the most beloved and enjoyable works in the choral literature: Johannes Brahms’ Ein Deutches Requiem. An exquisite piece celebrating the seasons of life and giving courage and consolation as we reflect on times past.

Tickets available this winter.SATURDAY MARCH 15 7:30PM FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH in EVANSTON

Ms. Birsan will sing The Italian Singer in Strauss’ masterpeice Cappriccio, in Edinburgh, Scotland.

This performacne was dedicated to the late Sir Andrew Davis, who was to conduct the performance and Ms. Birsan has been so fortunate to have worked with and known for her entire career.

(UPDATE: Unfortunately, due to a positive Covid test, Ms. Birsan was asked to cancel her performance for the safety of the audience and colleagues. She was replaced by Emma Morwood, soprano.)
