Closing the 24-25 season, OSNY presents Mendelssohn’s lovely choral symphony, Lobegesang (Hymn of Praise). This masterwork will be accompanied by the world premiere of Paul Moravec and Mark Campbell‘s All Shall Rise, exploring the timely topic of voting rights in the U.S., in the third OSNY-commissioned work by the composer/librettist duo.

A highlight of the New York holiday season for a century-and-a-half, OSNY presents its milestone 150th consecutive performance of Handel’s Messiah.

OSNY opens its 24-25 season with an eclectic program of choral music highlighted by the ever-popular Carmina Burana, with a rare performance of Orff’s two-piano/percussion orchestration. Program also includes works by Brahms, Libby Larsen, and Oliver Caplan.
