Overall, the (St. Louis Symphony) Chorus was as fine as I have ever heard it. Congratulations to the singers and to guest chorus director Benjamin Rivera.

Prepared by Benjamin Rivera, the MOB [Music of the Baroque] chorus brought polished corporate tone, flexibility and well blended vocalism, exhilaratingly so in the spiritual joy of the final chorus.

The men of the Florentine Opera Chorus deserve a heartfelt nod for tight, refined, ensemble singing, and for their animated presence in the production.

The concert was devoted to musical meditations from diverse creeds on the concept of everlastingness, and offered a choral showcase of a very high order.
