Coro Allegro's season begins with the Boston premiere of Andrew Yee’s Trans Requiem. The concert features cellist and composer Andrew Yee, soprano Breanna Sinclairé, and tenor Sam Crosby-Schmidt. The work, developed for trans voices, mixed chorus, and string orchestra, celebrates the beauty, resilience, and diversity of the trans experience. The program also features Ola Gjeilo’s gorgeous Sunrise Mass and the presentation of Coro Allegro’s Pinkham Award to The Theater Offensive Executive Director and Boston Trans Day of Remembrance vigil co-chair Giselle Byrd.

Enduring Echoes features Robert Stern’s monumental Shofar, a work rooted in Jewish tradition that explores covenant, brokenness, reconciliation, and renewal—a message with particular resonance at a time of renewed antisemitism and division. The concert honors three remarkable Massachusetts musicians we have lost: composer Robert Stern and baritones Sanford Sylvan and Donald Wilkinson. Also on the program are Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs and Johannes Brahms’ Nänie, Op. 82, with guest artists the New England Classical Singers.

Faces of America celebrates diverse American identities and experiences and highlights the rich contributions of immigrants and artists from around the world whose lives and work have become part of the American story. This eclectic program includes the world premiere of a new commission by Lebanese-American composer Ilyas Iliya, Charles Fussell, Melissa Dunphy, Cambodian composer's Bosba, and Howard Hanson. Together, these works offer a variety of perspectives on American identity, belonging, equality, and connection, while treating listeners to a rich range of sonorities.
