Description
Gloria & Te Deum
Sunday, October 19, 2025
Zion Lutheran Church, Sunbury
3:00PM
Classic meets contemporary! We open our season with two exuberant works. First, a new composition by composer Michael Glasgow, paired with the choral standard by Antonín Dvořák. This fresh setting of the Gloria had its world premiere at Carnegie Hall in 2022. The popular Te Deum, while written over 100 years ago, is infused with a sense of grand ceremony as the Czech composer was exploring new American styles of instrumentation at the time. This program will feature guest soloists Jill Gardner and Tim LeFebvre.

We are continuing our annual SVC tradition but pumping up the volume. This year, the concert will feature a full orchestra as we share some of our signature repertoire, along with a few unexpected pieces. Many of our audience members come back year after year, eager to surround themselves with the sounds of the season, savoring every beautiful note. Join us for this festive musical offering that highlights the true themes of Christmas.
Verdi Requiem

Held in regard as one of the pinnacle choral masterpieces, Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem has only been performed twice throughout the chorale’s history. We are thrilled to be welcoming four local soloists for this monumental performance. In addition, we will be joined by members of the Williamsport Chamber Choir. This powerfully emotional and dramatic work is sure to be unlike anything you’ve ever heard before
POPS — The Best of 30 Years Part Two!
Saturday, May 2, 2026
Weber Auditorium, Susquehanna University, Selinsgrove
7:30PM
We end the season with the second half of our celebration honoring Bill Payn’s 30 years as SVC Conductor and Music Director. It’ll certainly be another fun trip down memory lane, and there’s still bound to be a parade of costumes making an appearance for the occasion. As always, this event will feature the SVC stage band and some of our very own talented soloists. However, be prepared for some extra special surprises, as we commemorate Bill’s final bow at the podium.
