The Dessoff Choirs will perform the Brahms Requiem on Saturday, November 2, at 4 PM at Town Hall in Manhattan. The address is 123 West 43rd Street, very near Times Square. Go here (the Town Hall website) for tickets. This is a big performance with full orchestra and big name soloists (Joelle Harvey and Will Liverman), in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Dessoff Choirs.
