(MORRISTOWN, NJ) -- Join the acclaimed 100-voice Harmonium Choral Society for their March concert on Saturday, March 1 @ 7:30pm or Sunday, March 2 @ 3:00pm at the Morristown United Methodist Church. The concert features Eleanor Daley's exquisite Requiem and works by Heinrich Schutz, Dave Matthews and Caldwell and Ivory's Ain’t No Grave.

“Named for composer Daniel Gawthrop’s iconic Sing Me to Heaven, this concert features a typical Harmonium eclectic array of music celebrating the afterlife, from Sheppard’s 500-year-old setting of Media vita, to a choral cover of Dave Matthews’s Gravedigger,” said Artistic Director Dr. Anne Matlack. “Daley’s a cappella short Requiem is an underperformed gem, while Australian composer Sarah Hopkins’s Past Life Melodies is like nothing else, with its throaty chanting and overtone singing. You need to be there to experience it!”

Harmonium Choral Society is dedicated to ensuring that all their patrons are able to enjoy the arts. For large print programs or accessibility needs or concerns, please contact them at least two weeks prior to the performance, and they will assist you in the best manner we have available.

Harmonium Choral Society is a participating arts organization that offers free tickets through the Families First Discovery Program.

Directed by Dr. Anne J. Matlack since 1987, Harmonium Choral Society is one of New Jersey's leading choral arts organizations. The 100-voice chorus has been recognized for its musical excellence and innovative programming and has commissioned over 30 works by contemporary composers to keep the choral arts vibrant and alive.

In addition, the High School Student Choral Composition Contest has won the prestigious Chorus America Education and Outreach Award. Harmonium also sponsors musicianship workshops and an outreach chorus that performs in schools, retirement facilities, and other venues. The chorus tours internationally, most recently to the Balkans in the summer of 2022.

Funding has been made possible in part by Morris Arts through the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner of the National Endowment for the Arts.
