Experience the extraordinary beauty of choral music as PolyPhonics and the Chamber Choir take to the stage in a concert that showcases works from both classic and contemporary traditions titled "Heaven and Hell. PolyPhonics will present Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's renowned Requiem in D Minor, K 626, written in 1791, and the Chamber Choir will perform Herbert Howells' captivating “Requiem” composed in the 1930s which centers on hope and features less traditional texts. 

The PolyPhonics will be accompanied by an orchestra comprised of Cal Poly faculty and students, and will feature soloists from the Cal Poly Choirs. In addition, the group will perform Jake Runestad's haunting piece "A Silence Haunts Me," which was created in 2018 and features lyrics drawn from Beethoven's "Heiligenstadt Testament." The group will also present "The Heavens’ Flock" by Ēriks Ešenvalds, conducted by Cal Poly music major Alfred Zoppi, and "Light of a Clear Blue Morning," featuring Cal Poly faculty member Amy Goymerac as the soloist.

This concert is sponsored by Cal Poly’s Music Department, College of Liberal Arts and Instructionally Related Activities program.
