The Masterworks Chorale of Carroll County announces their Fall Concert, Beethoven’s Mass in C, Sunday, November 23, at 3 PM in the Winters Mill High School Auditorium. Conductor Kyle Engler leads the Chorale, accompanied by Peggy Brengle.

This Mass may not be as famous as some of Beethoven’s latest works, but it still illustrates his musical genius. As Beethoven’s first Mass you can hear the early ideas that he later uses in his sacred works. This Mass was composed in 1807 and was commissioned by Prince Nikolaus Esterházy II to commemorate his wife’s Birthday. It has been intriguing audiences ever since.

In addition, Drei gemischte Chöre by Clara Schumann will be performed by our new a Capella choir.

Admission is $20, ages 18 and under are admitted free. For tickets, and more information about the Chorale and the Concert, visit the website, www.masterworksofcc.org. A fundraiser, consisting of a series of themed raffle baskets, will be offered at the concert.
