"From the heart, may it again go to the heart," an inspired Beethoven wrote above the opening "Kyrie" in the manuscript of his greatest choral work, the Missa Solemnis. The Washington Chorus and remarkable guest soloists Erika Grimaldi, Rihab Chaieb, Saimir Pirgu, and Marko Mimica join the NSO for this infrequently performed epic mass—a vast symphonic statement of mysticism, drama, and sacred intimacy.

Runs May 15-17.
