The Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh’s second annual CrosSING Bridges Choral Festival takes place on Sunday, October 26, 2025 at 4pm in the newly renovated Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland. Mendelssohn will share the stage once again with Heritage Gospel Chorale Pittsburgh (Dr. Herbert V.R.P. Jones, director) and Coro Latinoamericano Pittsburgh (Lourdes Santiesteban, director), along with their new choral partner, the Pittsburgh Pride Choir (Dr. Kym Scott, director). You’ll hear music from varied music traditions representing communities across Pittsburgh, and you’ll witness over 200 voices coming together to show all that collaboration can accomplish.
Jim Cunningham spoke with Mendelssohn Choir Music Director Daniel Singer about the concert, the upcoming Junior Mendelssohn Joy Concert, his work in Cleveland with Beethoven's Ninth and Fidelio, their Holiday concert, and the Joe Hisaishi concert with the PSO.
