The ASO Chorus will perform Brahms's German Requiem this weekend with the Berliner Philharmoniker (in Berlin). We are ecstatic.

One of my fellow 4th Ward Afro-Klezmer Orchestra members will be missing our gig this weekend because he'll be in Berlin - his wife sings with the ASO Chorus.

The ASO Chorus was developed into a force to be reckoned with by the great Robert Shaw, who may have been questionable as an orchestral conductor, but was a superb choral conductor. My favorite Robert Shaw quote, relayed to me after his death by an ASO Chorus member: "Tenors, you're so close to B flat that you might as well go ahead and sing it!"
