Sing Mozart Requiem 

"Nearly twenty years singing with Viva include four soul-altering opportunities to perform Mozart's Requiem.  The Requiem's sweet nuance, its delicate dance, its mystery and deep emotion—Maestra Hoffmann expressively elicits these qualities.  I am so looking forward to the Requiem at Carnegie.  I encourage singers to join us in performing the most beloved music in the most iconic hall. 

Matthew Reeve, Viva bass section leader.

Sing at Carnegie

"Experience the magnificence of the most storied concert hall in the world—its rewarding acoustics, its elegance, and the privilege of performing on its awe-inspiring stage, imbued with the legacy of more than one hundred years of the best performers in the world." Shulamit 

​

Sing with Viva

"Viva la Musica has been my home choir for the past seven years and every year it gets sweeter.  The quality of music, professionalism, and artistry that Maestra Hoffmann leads with is unparalleledHoffmann.  Her dedication, love for what she does, and joy in the making is truly evident and what keeps me coming back. Join us!" Lauren Haber, Viva soprano soloist.
