Mendelssohn Choir to present April 2 concert at Shady Side Academy

This April, Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh presents “Toward the Unknown Region,” a concert about boldly emerging from these uncertain times with daring optimism and a sense of renewal.

The concert will take place April 2 at 7:30 p.m. at the Hillman Center for the Performing Arts at Shady Side Academy.

The concert will feature two dynamic works for chorus: Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Toward the Unknown Region” and Jonathan Dove’s blistering song cycle “The Passing of the Year,” which contains an extended, challenging, and beautiful solo piano part. The concert will also feature music by Jocelyn Hagen, Ellen Gilson Voth, and others.

Tickets are $30 general admission; $15 for students with ID and free for children 12 and under.

Proof of vaccination is required for entry to all concerts. Children under 12 and guests who need reasonable accommodations due to a medical exception or a sincerely held religious belief must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test within the last 72 hours. Masks will be required of all patrons whenever Allegheny County is in the CDC’s “substantial” or “high” community transmission levels.
