This spring, Dr. Wilson will conduct 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

We look forward to seeing you this May.
