Join us as we welcome the SSO Chorale and its new music director to the Kuss stage. Once again uniting with the Springfield Symphony Orchestra to perform the sacred music of John Rutter ‘s Gloria and the inspired collection of expression and backbone of Igor Stravinsky Symphony of Psalms.

After a short break,the SSO Chorale makes a comeback, presenting the pinnacle of choral compositions by the contemporary English composer John Rutter, alongside the enduring legacy of Russian musical luminary Igor Stravinsky. Coupled with compositions from the same geographic origins by Sir Edward Elgar and Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, this program celebrates the essence of nationalism at its peak.
