Vocal ensemble sensation Voctave returns to Steinmetz Hall with the Bach Festival Choir and Orchestra to kick off the most wonderful time of the year. These dynamic performers bring dazzling vocals and charm to holiday classics and new favorites. Last year’s festive program was a sell out!
Ecce cor Meum (Latin for “Behold My Heart”) was commissioned by Magdalen College, Oxford. It premiered in 2001 and is dedicated to the memory of the composer’s late wife, Linda McCartney. (Florida Premiere)
Schubert described his Symphony No. 9 as “grosse Sinfonie,” meaning “large” or “great” and the demonstrated “… breadth and expanse of the form…” is paired with uninhibited gaiety and exuberance.

A tour de force of classical music! From the ominously powerful Dies Irae (Day of Wrath) to the gorgeous opulence of the Lux Aeterna (Light Eternal), this masterpiece is unrivaled for its drama. Conductor John V. Sinclair describes this work as Verdi’s best opera, but with sacred text. Presented in the stunning new Steinmetz Hall, and featuring the celebrated Bach Festival Choir and Orchestra with world-class soloists, Verdi’s Requiem is sure to delight and thrill.
