When the Central Ohio Symphony takes the Gray Chapel stage at 3 p.m. March 31, it will perform only two works during its entire concert. The first will be the world premiere of Fanfare for the 40th Season No. 3 by composer Ben Goldberg. The second will be Giuseppe Verdi’s “Requiem,“ (Messa da Requiem), the Catholic funeral mass he wrote to commemorate the death of Italian author Alessandro Manzoni.
Requiem requires four soloists. In the concert, those parts will be sung by guests artists Keyona Willis (soprano), Emily Spencer (mezzo soprano), John Nevergall (tenor) and Michael Young (bass).
The chorus will be made up of singers from the Ohio Wesleyan Choral Arts Society under the direction of Jason Hiester and Capriccio Columbus, under the direction of Larry Griffin.
Tickets may be purchased at the Symphony Source, 24 E. Winter Street in downtown Delaware, or online at www.centralohiosymphony.org. Prices are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, $6 for students of all ages, and $4 for children.
