Bernstein at 100
October 26-28, 2018
The Master Chorale of South Florida is thrilled to take part in the international centennial celebration of Leonard Bernsetin at 100! Join all 120 singers, orchestra, and soloists for a musical celebration of one of America’s greatest composers and musicians.

Berlioz' Te Deum
Feburary 23-24, 2019
With the Lynn Philharmonia
Berlioz’s Te Deum stands as one of the ultimate ceremonial pieces of all time, and it is still an event whenever the work is performed today. It is one of the works referred to by Berlioz in his Memoirs as "the enormous compositions which some critics have called architectural or monumental music." Hector Berlioz's choral and orchestral works explore the breadth of the human spiritual experience. His style explores the vast range of human emotion, taking singers from bombastic highs to quiet intimacy. His massive orchestrations echo the ecstasy of adoration and the blasts of Judgement Day.
Haydn's Creation
May 3-5, 2019
“When I think of God, I can write only cheerful music” said Joseph Haydn, and his great oratorio The Creation is a masterful representation of this philosophy. Violins become tigers leaping through the air, cellos and basses become whales and creatures of the sea, and brass instruments recreate the first rising of the sun. From chaos to Adam & Eve, This monumental performance will treat audience members to a musical representation of the Genesis creation story.

With the Lynn Philharmonia and soloists
The Chorale’s 2017-18 Season closes with Johannes Brahms’ 1868 masterpiece Ein Deutsches Requiem (“A German Requiem”), described by one critic as “an irresistible force…heaven on Earth.” Unlike most requiems, the work focuses on the living and creates a sympathetic humanistic effect transitioning from anxiety to comfort. Master Chorale welcomes highly regarded artistic partner, Lynn Philharmonia, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of this astounding musical achievement.
