Choir honored for 3 of year's top 5 classical performances!

Manfred Honeck, the PSO's incredible, new music director, has helped make 2009 a banner year for us. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette recently recognized our collaborations as 3 of the top 5 classical performances of the year, highlighting the John Adams concert(#4), the Mozart Requiem (#5), and our June performance of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony (#1). Regarding December's Requiem, Druckenbrod wrote "...at the center was a gorgeous performance of the hauntingly beautiful work by the Mendelssohn Choir and PSO."

"Tortelier captured the elegance of 
Faurés Requiem
 with balance, tone and tempo,  
but it was 
the phrasing of the violins and  
the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh that captured me....
  
and the rounded, unforced singing and  
the
lambent tone of the voices
prepared by director  
Betsy Burleigh brought out the goosebumps
."
