GRS Chorus 50th Season Celebration
Nearly 250 musicians come together to perform Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis, a monumental choral work that Beethoven regarded as his crowning achievement. Vibrant and immensely challenging, Missa Solemnis is rarely performed live due to its difficulty and scale. This once-in-a-lifetime performance of "the greatest piece never heard" will stir your soul.
Please Note: Traffic may be heavier Friday night due to packet pick-up for the Fifth Third River Bank Run on Saturday morning.
