On September 11, 2002, members of the Putnam Chorale met together and sang portions of Mozart's Requiem to honor the victims of the September 11 attacks. They were participating in the "Rolling Requiem" performed by chorale groups across the world as their local time zone reached 8:46 a.m., the time of the attack. As that hour rolled across the country all the chorale groups began to sing Mozart's Requiem, and in Carmel, members of the Putnam Chorale stood in the Veterans Hall singing, thinking of the families who suffered from such great loss, and bringing comfort through music.
