The first fall concert of the Lakeland Civic Chorus will be a celebration of one of the most prominent composers of all time, as the group presents “Schubert Mass in G.” The concert is slated for Sunday, Oct. 23, 2016, at 4 p.m. in the college’s Dr. Wayne L. Rodehorst Performing Arts Center, 7700 Clocktower Drive, Kirtland, 44094.

Tickets are $7 for adults, $6 for seniors and $2 for students. Tickets can be purchased at the college’s box office on the date of the concert or in advance by calling 440.525.7134 or online through lakelandcc.edu/arts.

The chorus, directed by Leonard DiCosimo, will be joined onstage by members of the Lakeland Civic Orchestra.

Mass No. 2 in G major was composed by Austrian composer Franz Peter Schubert in 1815 and is the most widely known piece from his shorter mass compositions. He was a prolific composer of songs, operettas, duets, quartets, symphonies and scores for plays. Schubert is credited with bridging Classical and early Romantic eras as well as marrying poetry with music.
