Masterworks Singers Spring Concert

The Masterworks Singers and Orchestra, conducted by Dr. H. Morris Stevens, Jr. will perform the premiere of the commissioned work Aeterna Via by award-winning composer Elaine Hagenberg at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 7, 2026, at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church.

This concert will feature the new 7-movement Aeterna Via plus other selections evoking emotions of hope, healing, and peace. 

The concert is free. There will be a free-will offering collected.

A few words from the composer…

“There is a road that winds through anticipation and wonder, exhilaration to disorientation,

and ultimately — toward home. Aeterna Via (The Eternal Way) traces that journey across

seven movements. With a cinematic flow, the music unfolds seamlessly from one

movement to the next, as choir and orchestra share equally in the role of storyteller, and

each movement is titled to mark a new stage of the journey.

The texts are drawn from diverse sources, offering poetic reflections of our shared human

experience, expressed through the ordered reason of the philosopher, the luminous vision

of the mystic, and the raw human emotion of the psalmist.”

The Masterworks Singers are honored to bring this new work to Paris, France, this June as part of the Hagenberg International Choral Festival.
