Mozart's Requiem

Join the Chester Children’s Chorus for a moving performance of Mozart’s Requiem. One of the most profound works in the choral repertoire, Mozart's Requiem will be performed alongside 30 community singers, professional soloists, and an orchestra, bringing together generations of voices and musicians.
 
This masterpiece, performed only every three to four years, holds special meaning for the Chorus and reflects the children's focus, discipline, and joy.
 
Guests are invited to a reception following the concert in the lobby of the Lang Music Building.

Spring Concerts — The Beatles

Join our 110 Chester children for their spring concerts featuring classical and choral works followed by The Beatles' greatest hits, including "Hey Jude," "Help!," Lucy in the "Sky With Diamonds," "Let It Be," and more.

This will be CCC Founder, Executive & Artistic Director John Alston's final performances before his retirement in August 2026.

"Who doesn't want to finish a musical career with The Beatles? They gave us some of the world's most compelling melodies," said Alston. "I can barely contain myself when our children sing the 'Hey Jude' hook."

Guests are invited to a post-concert reception in the Lang Performing Arts Center (LPAC), which is adjacent to the Lang Concert Hall.

  • Saturday, May 16, 2026–4:00 p.m.
    Sunday, May 17, 2026–4:00 p.m.

Please note: On both Saturday and Sunday, overflow seating will be available next door in LPAC where guests can watch the performance livestream.
