​To open the Series, the Capella, St. Gertrude Church’s professional choir, presents Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s haunting Requiem with orchestra. This performance will be the American premiere of Heinrich Ludwig von Spengel’s 1852 orchestration for string sextet and chamber organ, which was composed for more intimate churches and became one of the most often-performed versions of the Requiem in the nineteenth century.

Marital bliss amiss.
Sam and Dinah are living the American dream in 1950s suburbia. Beau and Autumn are celebrating their anniversary over dinner and drinks. But there’s one problem… neither couple is happy. Beau and Autumn can’t seem to look up from their phones and Sam and Dinah can’t stand to be in the same room with each other. Leonard Bernstein’s Trouble in Tahiti and Christopher Weiss and John de los Santos’ Service Provider may not be filled with marital bliss, but these one-act crowd pleasers are sure to keep you on the edge of your seat all night long.
