2016-2017 Season Concert Dates Announced!
11.19.16 - An Anton Anthology
Come experience the magic of "the Antons" - Bruckner and Rubinstein! The program features Bruckner's "Te Deum" and "Requiem," as well as music by Rubinstein.
Saturday, 7:30PM - St. George Episcopal Church, Clifton Park
12.11.16 - Handel's Messiah
An annual tradition! Composed in 1741, and performed regularly since, come enjoy what many already have - from the Overture to the final Amen, including the famous "Hallelujah" chorus!
Sunday, 3:00PM - Union College Memorial Chapel, Schenectady
5.7.17 - St. John Passion
First performed on Good Friday of 1724, the St. John Passion was one of the few works that Bach revised and revived intermittently until the end of his life - a clear demonstration of the high value he placed on this masterpiece! The Octavo Singers will present this oratorio in the beautiful - and appropriate - setting of St. John the Evangelist Church!

Performance of Haydn's "Die Jahreszeiten" was an Overwhelming Success!
Many thanks to all our wonderful audience members who attended our “Seasons” performance last Saturday. It was a terrific turnout, especially given all the competing venues from which listeners had to choose this weekend. We appreciate your continued support, and we hope to see you at our next concert on November 19. Without you, our singers would have little reason to learn this beautiful literature! Thanks again!
