Hailed as one of the finest choruses in the country, the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh (MCP) is proud of its long artistic partnership with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (PSO) and looks forward to another exciting season at Heinz Hall. Primarily a volunteer chorus, the Mendelssohn Choir is composed of more than 100 singers whose passion and commitment enables them to perform alongside the world’s greatest musicians.

Collectively, the members of the Choir volunteer more than 35,000 hours annually to bring the joys of choral music to Pittsburgh audiences.

The women and men of the Mendelssohn Choir gave one of their most powerful and touching performances ever with the Pittsburgh Symphony on May 10, 2014 at New York’s Carnegie Hall to close the Spring for Music Festival. Called “an extraordinary performance of great subtlety, great musicality and simply great singing” by the Festival’s co-founder, Mary Lou Falcone, (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) and a “bold, meaningful experiment in programming” with the “impressive orchestra and chorus bringing dramatic purpose as well as musical distinction to the Requiem” (New York Times), the concert was a highly acclaimed choral tour de force.

The season continues with a Valentine’s Day Cabaret, a performance of Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle in March, and an all-Gershwin concert in May. Under Burleigh’s direction, the Choir has earned high praise for its mastery of the great choral classics. Recent past performances include Aaron Copland’s In the Beginning and Mozart’s Great Mass to sold-out audiences at East Liberty Presbyterian Church, Brahms’ Requiem, and a critically acclaimed performance of Rachmaninoff’s a cappella masterwork, the Vespers, at St. Paul’s Cathedral.

As the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s “chorus of choice,” the Mendelssohn Choir has performed with some of the world’s foremost conductors including Lorin Maazel, Mariss Jansons, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Michael Tilson Thomas, Claudio Abbado, Mstislav Rostropovich, Leonard Slatkin, Charles Dutoit, André Previn, Sir Neville Marriner, Yan Pascal Tortelier, Helmuth Rilling, Ingo Metzmacher, Richard In addition to its performances with the Hickox, Zdenek Mácal, and Manfred Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Honeck.

Committed to fostering the choral art form, the Mendelssohn Choir has numerous recordings, commissions and premieres to its credit, including works by Ned Rorem, Nancy Galbraith, and Derek Bermel. The Choir’s most recent recording released in fall 2011 is Mahler’s Symphony No. 3 with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and the Children’s Festival Chorus of Pittsburgh with Manfred Honeck conducting.

The Mendelssohn Choir seeks to foster the next generation of choral singers through the Junior Mendelssohn Choir, the region’s premier young adult chorus for youth in grades 8 to 12.

The Pittsburgh Symphony, known for its artistic excellence, is credited with a rich history of the world’s finest conductors and musicians, and a strong commitment to the Pittsburgh region and its citizens.

This tradition was furthered in fall 2008, when Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck became music director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

With a long and distinguished history of touring both domestically and overseas since 1900, the Pittsburgh Symphony continues to be critically acclaimed as one of the world’s greatest orchestras. With more than 36 international tours, including 20

European tours, eight trips to the Far East, and two to South America. The Pittsburgh Symphony was the first American orchestra to perform at the Vatican in January 2004 for the late Pope John Paul II, as part of the Pontiff’s Silver Jubilee celebration.

The Pittsburgh Symphony has a long and illustrious history in the areas of recordings and radio concerts. As early as 1936, the Pittsburgh Symphony broadcast coastto-coast, receiving increased national attention in 1982 through network radio broadcasts on Public Radio International.

The PRI series is produced by Classical WQED-FM 89.3 in Pittsburgh and is made possible by the musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE

In addition to income from the Annual Fund, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is dependent on a robust endowment to assure its long-term financial stability. Gifts from Legacy of Excellence programs are directed to the endowment to provide for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s future.

The Steinberg Society honors donors who have advised the Pittsburgh Symphony in writing that they have made a provision for the orchestra in their will. Members of the Sid Kaplan Tribute program have made a gift to the endowment of $10,000.00 or more to commemorate a particular person or event. Endowed naming opportunities for guest artists, musicians’ chairs, concert series, educational programs or designated spaces allow donors to specify a name or tribute for 10 years, 20 years or in perpetuity. For additional information, please call Jan Fleisher at 412.392.3320.

ON SALE NOW! “Anyone who is familiar with the Dvořák G major symphony will find Honeck’s interpretation remarkable…the result is a fresh and exciting version of Dvořák’s eighth symphony that is more romantically realized than Dvořák intended. The Symphonic Suite from “Jenůfa” is a rarely heard work by the Czech master as conceptualized by Honeck. It is beautifully orchestrated, exquisitely played and very evocative of the main themes of the opera.”

Henry Schlinger, Culture Spot LA “This is an absolutely marvelous release both in terms of its thrilling performances and wonderful sound quality.” Graham Williams, SA-CD.net This is one of the most gripping performances of Dvořák’s 8th Symphony that I ever heard.

Honeck and Pittsburgh excel themselves and definitely team up to one of those great partnerships like Solti and Chicago, Ozawa and Boston, Bernstein and New York, Szell and Cleveland, Tilson-Thomas and San Francisco. — Alain Steffen, Pizzicato
