The season began with ROS Men’s Chorus performing with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra in the concert version of “Pirates of the Caribbean.” In December we were guests of the RPO performing Handel’s Messiah with our very own Eric Townell, conducting. ROS productions included: in October works by Argento, Rutter, Puccini, and Handel with guest performance by the Webster Thomas High School Choir; in March a concert featuring the works by Beethoven, Mozart and Fauré. In May, ROS performed the “Voices of Liberation” concert, premiering our commissioned work by Glenn McClure, the Emancipation Oratorio, with the composer among the orchestral ensemble. In July, ROS traveled to Chautauqua for repeat performances of this work.
