INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir’s final performance of the 76thseason combines a choral classic with a newer composition by a much-celebrated living composer.

J. S. Bach’s Magnificat and Morten Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna will be performed by the 180-voice Indianapolis Symphonic Choir, the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra and guest soloists all with Hoosier connections 8 p.m. Friday, April 12 at Clowes Memorial Hall.

Tickets range from $15 to $75 and are available at www.indychoir.org or in-person at the Clowes Memorial Hall box office. Limited tickets may be available for purchase at the door, beginning one hour prior to the performance.

“We’ll unite two compositional gurus. The musical minds of Bach and of Lauridsen are stunning: writing music that invigorates the performer just as much as it sets aflame the hearts of the audience,” says Eric Stark, Artistic Director of the Symphonic Choir. “On top of it all, these composers know precisely how to write for the voice, for a chorus. Total choral mastery.”

The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir is one of central Indiana’s most established and dynamic musical institutions. Among the most active symphonic choruses in the nation, the Choir reaches in excess of 25,000 people each season with more than 25 performances and a comprehensive educational outreach program.
