Two xcellent musical performance coming up:
The St. Maragret's Adult Choir presents a free concert at St. Margaret's Church, 374 Stevens Street, Lowell, MA, on Sunday, Nov.1 at 3:30 PM. The work will be the Stabat Mater Dolorosa, a sacred cantata for orchestra, chorus and soloists by Antonin Dvorak. A voluntary goodwill donation will be accepted. St. Margaret's choir is really outstanding, this should be wonderful!
And the following Sunday, November 8, at Sanders Theatre from 3-5 PM:
You'd better watch out: A concert for St. Nicholas is coming to town:
JOHN TAVENER
Apolytikion for Saint Nicholas (1987)
IVAN MOODY
Hymn to Saint Nicholas (2009) - North American premiere
BRITTEN
Saint Nicolas, Op. 42
Britten’s dramatic cantata from 1948 is full of wonder. It even directly involves the participation of the audience! As Nicholas is considered the patron saint of children, this performance is made more meaningful when the talented young singers from the Treble Chorus of New England join the Chorale on stage.
The program also includes two shorter works by living British composers. John Tavener became a household name when his Song of Athene was included in the worldwide broadcast of Princess Diana’s funeral. Ivan Moody’s multi-layered, multi-lingual music debuts August 2009 in Montenegro’s Kotor Arts Festival and receives its North American premiere on this program.
