On Friday, October 17, 2014 a group of  seminarians traveled from St. Tikhon's to Bard College in New York to attend a free concert of Mozart's Requiem.  The concert was performed by graduate and undergraduate students in the conservatory at Bard, including St. Tikhon's choir director Benedict Sheehan, who is currently pursuing a master's in conducting from Bard.

The concert was conducted by Hungarian conductor Maestro Adam Fischer, who took time off from conducting a run of performances at the New York Metropolitan Opera to conduct the Mozart Requiem at Bard. Students enjoyed a lovely fall evening on the beautiful grounds at Bard, a wonderful concert, and fellowship with each other.
