On April 20, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra will open the inaugural Music for the Spirit Festival in grand fashion with “Singing City,” a large-scale, historic concert event at the University of Pittsburgh’s Petersen Events Center.
“Singing City” marks a cultural milestone for the city of Pittsburgh and will feature Music Director Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in performance with a choir of thousands from the Pittsburgh region and surrounding areas.
Repertoire will include selections from Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, Verdi's Requiem, Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man, and the Chorale Finale of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 “Resurrection." Other highlights include a world premiere of a newly commissioned work for a cappella choir by Pittsburgh native Jonny Priano, an audience sing-along and the inaugural Festival address by Cardinal Donald Wuerl. A major goal of "Singing City" is to reach a large and diverse audience, emphasizing the tremendous power that music has to bring people together and promote a spiritual and universal message.
