Featuring Rutter’s Requiem in tandem with beloved classics like For the Beauty of the Earth and Down By the Riverside, the singers will celebrate the indelible mark Karen left on the ensemble through the music of the composer she cherished most.
Spring Concert 2025
Many Waters Cannot Quench Love
Sunday, May 1, 2025, 3 PM
Malverne High School Performing Arts Center
80 Ocean Ave
Malverne, NY 11565
Using the Song of Solomon text as a guide post, the Mineola Choral Society’s spring concert will feature a collection of songs that celebrate the enduring love story of Ida and Isador Straus. The couple was celebrated all over the world when word spread that Ida and Isidor sacrificed their R.M.S. Titanic lifeboat spots to other passengers in the name of staying together in death as they had in life. The lesser-known parts of their story - an American tale of immigration, hard work, family, and the bonds of love—are equally worthy of celebration. Told in four sections, the story of the Straus family will be highlighted with works from a variety of genres and featuring composers such as Brandon Wiliams, Elaine Hagenberg, Jerry Bock, René Clausen, and Brahms.
