Music at Co-Cath (MACC) is introducing a new concert series aimed at inspiring hope, and seats are filling up quickly.
Over 1,000 people have already reserved tickets for “From Death to Eternal Light” at the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph in Prospect Heights. The performance features choral pieces spanning centuries, guiding audiences on a journey out of darkness.
On Wednesday, students from St. Joan of Arc and St. Bernard Catholic Academies received a special preview of the concert. They were particularly moved by the church choir’s rendition of “Requiem 1605” by Spanish Renaissance composer Tomás Luis de Victoria.
Alejandro Zuleta, Director of Music at MACC, shared the goal of the event, saying, “We want to give kids an experience of how that sounds in a real cathedral with a real-life group of singers so they can maybe fall in love with this and keep us alive.”
Seventh-grader Logan Cordero from St. Joan of Arc Catholic Academy described the performance as “really inspiring” and said, “It touched my heart.”
Fellow seventh-grader Miarose Kearney from St. Bernard Catholic Academy reflected, “When I was younger, I used to be in the church choir, and I’ve been wanting to do it again, so maybe watching that will inspire me to do that again.”
“From Death to Eternal Light” marks the first concert of MACC’s 2025/2026 season, with additional performances planned for Advent and Lent.
The concerts are free to attend, and tickets can be reserved by visiting maccbrooklyn.org for a full list of shows and ticketing information.
