Richard Roller, Friends University adjunct faculty, will be returning to Friends to conduct the orchestra.

Mozart.
“We are pleased to join the Community Orchestra for a performance of the Coronation Mass,” said Singing Quaker Director Dr. Mark Bartel. “This performance is also in preparation for the Singing Quakers’ tour to Italy and Austria in June 2019, where the choir will perform the work with St. Peter’s Orchestra of Vienna.”
