The Durango Choral Society will open this year’s season with a world premiere performance of Telluride composer David Lingle’s spectacular, seven movement Requiem for Eagles. Lingle, who passed away in 2013, was the director of the Telluride Choral Society for more than seven years. This music, arranged and orchestrated by Dalen Stevens, is perfectly suited for the beautiful, reverent space at St. Columba. Online tickets available: August 2015.
