Choeur philharmonique du Nouveau Monde
Dear friends choristers, musicians and music lovers,
Our rehearsal and concert activities have been severely impaired since spring 2019. The performance of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis scheduled for spring had to be canceled. However, we have been able to maintain weekly virtual rehearsals since that time.Now is the time to envision and plan for a gradual return to normalcy which we all hope will be swift and bring us back to our passion for playing and listening to classical music.
It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to present to you our new website, which will inform you about all of our activities and which I hope will inspire many and encourage them to join us.
In September 2021 we will begin rehearsals of Johannes Brahms’s German Requiem and present this magnificent masterpiece in a series of concerts in spring 2022. And, we are also working on other equally exciting concert projects.
I invite you to regularly consult this site and our communications in the various social networks to be informed of our upcoming performances.
Finally, I would like to leave you with a thank you note to let you know how your loyalty is greatly appreciated and we hope to see you all very soon.
