If you’re looking for an evening of beauty and sound contemplation, or just sheer enjoyment of the human voice, this concert is for you!
Though its first performance in March 1915 was a fundraiser for the Russian First World War effort, Rachmaninoff’s music is rooted in a tradition of Russian Orthodox chant that goes back a thousand years.
Also on the program are short motets by Anton Bruckner, and a work by the contemporary American composer Eric Whitacre that weaves the single word Alleluia into a complex tapestry of vocal colours.
