West Side Presbyterian Church

Ars Musica Chorale closes its landmark 60th Anniversary Season with an electrifying celebration of music, spirit, and community. The program features Francis Poulenc’s Gloria and André Thomas’ Mass: A Celebration of Love and Joy, conducted by Music Director Michael McCormick. The concert takes place at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at West Side Presbyterian Church in Ridgewood, New Jersey.
The evening opens with Poulenc’s Gloria, a radiant and dynamic work that moves effortlessly between heartfelt lyricism and infectious energy, featuring soprano soloist Caitlyn Huetz. It is paired with Thomas’ Mass: A Celebration of Love and Joy, a vibrant and uplifting work infused with gospel, spiritual, and jazz influences, featuring soloists Silky Carter, soprano, and George Johnson III, tenor.
Joining Ars Musica for this extraordinary performance is the Adelphi Orchestra, a fully professional ensemble that has been a cornerstone of the New York metropolitan music scene for more than 70 years. This promises to be an unforgettable evening of music, energy, and celebration—the spectacular conclusion to a milestone season.
