Verdi's Requiem - choristers wanted!

We all at one point or another have heard of the reputation of Verdi's Requiem. Of course, we can enjoy this magnificent masterpiece by attending a live concert, or listening to a recording. However, nothing can beat the experience of singing it live with another 300 choristers on stage with outstanding soloists and full orchestra. On 2 October 2010, MUCS will be performing Verdi's Requiem with the ACU choir, RMP choir and orchestra.

MUCS is a non-auditioned choir and is currently recruiting new members to partake in what promised to be an exhilarating concert. If you're interested in joining MUCS to sing in this concert, you are welcome to come along to our rehearsals on Wednesday nights (6:45 PM - 9:30 PM). We rehearse in the West Hall of St. Mary's College. If you have any queries, we'll be happy to answer it. Just click here for details on how to contact us!
