CHORAL UNION PERFORMS MOZART
One way to celebrate the composer's 250th birthday

The University of Missouri-Columbia's Choral Union and the University Philharmonic joined forces tonight to perform Handel's "Zadok the Priest" and "The King Shall Rejoice," along with Mozart's "Requiem." It just so happens that today marks what would be Mozart's 250th birthday. With about 250 performers total, Missourian reporter Megan Schumacher used the headline "250 perform for Mozart's 250th" for her article previewing the concert.
I went to the concert tonight to support a friend of mine who is taking the Choral Union as a class. They had to practice every night this week from 7 to about 9:30 p.m., in addition to having class every Thursday so far this semester from 7 to 9 p.m. The concert showed that the group was well-prepared, as it was a good performance.
