What are the Top 10 choral/orchestral works of all time?
Whatever your list looks like, certainly near the top lives the exquisite Requiem by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The work has seeped into the public consciousness, thanks in part to pop culture representations of Mozart's life and untimely death.
Want to get fired up for this performance? Get your popcorn ready and enjoy Milos Forman's Oscar-winning biopic Amadeus (1984), starring F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce. 
National Lutheran Choir presents All Saints: Mozart Requiem on November 2 & 3, in the Twin Cities metro. A contingent of National Lutheran Choir alumni singers are adding into the mix for this program, and in the coming weeks the Choir will join with the orchestra and soloists to put the finishing touches on this masterful work.
The clip below features Dashon Burton (bass-baritone), soloist for the National Lutheran Choir performances on Nov. 2 & 3, singing the famous Tuba Mirum movement from a Requiem performance by the Bowdoin College choirs. Enjoy!

Meaningful remembrance,
with a towering work in the classical music canon 

Choral music meets remembrance in our 16th annual All Saints program. Alice Parker's "Hark, I Hear the Harps Eternal" and Arvo Pärt's "Beatitudes" serve as introit before a silent procession, where names of the recently departed will be memorialized on screen. Then, the 12 movements of the Latin requiem Mass--a service of remembrance--complete the ritual in W.A. Mozart's colossal and timeless setting of the Requiem. Four outstanding vocal soloists, an orchestra of some of the best players in the Twin Cities, and, of course, the National Lutheran Choir lift up one of the most important works in all of the Western canon. A pre-concert lecture by Rev. Arthur Halbardier will illuminate the historical context of Mozart's Requiem. Lecture begins one hour before each concert. 
As is tradition with the All Saints program, we hope to collect names of the recently departed from you, our audience. We are asking audience members to submit memorial names in advance, so follow this link to leave your names at NLCA.com.

Last week to renew Chair Sponsorships


When a singer joins the National Lutheran Choir, it is based on musical ability alone. Our singers do not pay to take part in the extensive concertizing, touring and recording work of the Choir.  That’s where your support comes in...and we need your pledge by October 15th!
