As a member of the Heritage Gospel Chorale of Pittsburgh, I am thrilled to be part of this incredible event!

Chorus creates community. It brings together people from diverse backgrounds to share in making music, and whether you’re on stage or in the audience, you feel a connection to everyone around you as we experience the power of voices raised together in song.

Join us for the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh’s second annual CrosSING Bridges Choral Festival on Sunday, October 26, 2025 at 4pm in the newly renovated Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland. Mendelssohn will share the stage once again with The Heritage Gospel Chorale of Pittsburgh (Dr. Herbert V.R.P. Jones, director) and Coro Latinoamericano Pittsburgh (Lourdes Santiesteban, director), and we welcome our 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.
