Stonewall Chorale to Present ‘Remembrance’ This March

By David Salazar

The Stonewall Chorale, the nation’s first LGBTQIA+ choir now in its 49th season, will present “Remembrance” this Spring.

The showcase, set for Saturday, March 21 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 22 at 4:00 p.m. at Holy Apostles Church in New York City, will feature Mozart’s Requiem in D minor (1791) and Marianna Martines’ “Dixit Dominus” (1774).

“The Requiem is one of the most emotionally charged works ever written,” said Artistic Director Cynthia Powell, per an official press release. “Mozart draws us into profound reflection, while Martines’ radiant Dixit Dominus restores a brilliant voice too long overlooked. As the nation’s first LGBTQIA+ choir, we understand the power of being seen and heard, and this program allows us to honor both loss and resilience in one unforgettable evening.”

“Remembrance” also arrives in the context of Women’s History Month, and the Stonewall Chorale frames the concert explicitly as a contribution to ongoing conversations about representation, identity, and power in classical music.
