Sunday, April 27, 3:00 p.m.

The Bruckner Mass in E minor is the epitome of 19 th century German romanticism, a gigantic work for double chorus and wind ensemble. Alongside this grand setting of the Mass, Pax Christi Chorale will also present more intimate a cappella motets and songs by Rheinberger, Willan, Stanford and Lauridsen.
