Choral Masterworks Concert
2026-03-15 15:30 - 17:30 | Warren Atherton Auditorium @ Delta College, Stockton, 5151 Pacific Ave, Stockton, CA, 95207, United States
Fanny Hensel’s Lobgesang and Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem are the selections for this concert, which, when taken together, form a powerful arc—from praise to peace, from the exultation of life to the quiet mystery of death. Hensel wrote her beautiful, pastoral piece as a response to the birth of her first child, and the piece celebrates appropriately. In contrast, Duruflé’s Requiem offers a tender farewell to his father with a work of serenity. Based on Gregorian chant and full of lush harmonies, the work gently ushers the spirit toward eternal peace. Together, these works trace a sacred journey from the joyful song of life to the quiet stillness of death.

The Stockton Chorale opens its landmark 75th Anniversary “Diamond Season” with 75 Years of Inspiring Joy, a retrospective concert celebrating seven and a half decades of choral music in Stockton, CA.

The roots of the Stockton Chorale have given a strong base to the many branches that have spread over the years, while always allowing the light of inspiration to shine through. Several past Artistic Directors, including Mike Hernandez, Bruce Southard, Daniel Hughes, Curtis Mannah, and Art Holton Jr. (representing founder Art Holton Sr.), return to conduct treasured repertoire from their own years leading the ensemble.
Expect a program rich with American choral classics and spirituals, including works by William Dawson, Harry Burleigh, Randall Thompson, Moses Hogan, Stephen Paulus, and Alice Parker, alongside a movement of Mozart’s Ave verum corpus.
Join us for this milestone celebration of Stockton choral music as we kick off a season honoring 75 years of community, artistry, and joy.
