Duruflé REQUIEM and Other Works for Chorus and Organ

Riverside Choral Society is thrilled to extend the warmest welcome to Dr. John Wilson, our new director. Dr. Wilson, who holds degrees from both Westminster Choir College and Rutgers University, is the current director of choral activities at SUNY New Paltz (where he is an Assistant Professor). Learn more about Dr. John Wilson.

Join us this May, when Dr. Wilson conducts his RCS inaugural at the renowned Romanesque Church of St. Francis Xavier. In a concert that will be highlighted by a performance of Duruflé’s magical, meditative, and plainchant-based Requiem, the program will also include: 

  • Evening Hymn – Henry Balfour Gardiner

  • Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Refuge – Ralph Vaughan Williams 

  • Magnificat – John Wilson

Friday, MAY 2, 2025 at 7:30 PM 
CHURCH OF St. FRANCIS Xavier, 46 West 16th St, NYC

We are delighted that renowned organist David Enlow will be joining us. A “commanding” organist (The New Yorker), conductor, and teacher, David is Music Director of Park Avenue Synagogue, Organist & Choir Master of the Church of the Resurrection, and Assistant Conductor, Organist, and Repetiteur to the Clarion Music Society. We can't wait for David to pull out all the stops when he takes to the bench of the 52-rank Peragallo organ at St. Francis Xavier!
