The QCSO will be led by Guest Conductor Jon Hurty and the choir will be comprised of voices from the Handel Oratorio Society, Quad City Choral Arts, and the Augustana Choir. Also on the program is Mozart's Exultate, Jubilate, and Handel's Zadok the Priest. The concert will feature a return engagement from one of today's most exciting young sopranos, Mary Wilson, performing Exultate, Jubilate and Carmina Burana. Performing with Wilson and the choirs for Carmina Burana will be nationally-recognized soloists: Baritone Andrew Garland and Countertenor Alfred E. Sturgis.
Finally, Hurty will be available at Kai Swanson's Concert Conversations, held in the concert halls an hour before each of the weekend's concerts. At Concert Conversations the audience members are given a quick tour of highlights from the upcoming concert. This look into the background of the concert's repertoire, sponsored by Rich James of Wells Fargo Advisors, has been running since 1996 and is an audience favorite.
