The Concord-Carlisle High School Chorus and Orchestra will hold a very 
special joint concert on *Thursday, January 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the CCHS 
auditorium*. For the first time in many years the Chorus, under the 
direction of Deborah Smith and the Orchestra, directed by Scott Knopf, 
are collaborating on a major work, Franz Schubert's Mass in G. Written 
in only five days in 1815, this is the second of Schubert's seven 
masses, composed specifically for the parish church in his German home 
town. Student soloists featured in the piece are Frank Cannon, Noragh 
Devlin, Nicole Guild, Peter Lesser, Catherine O'Kelly, Campbell Payne, 
Russell Peck, and Lisa Yanofsky. The Select Choir and the Women's 
Ensemble will be performing works by Palestrina, Hassler, and others. 
The performance is free and open to the public.
