Come and Sing Dvorak's Mass in D
Saturday 21st October 2017, Cartmel Priory
Join us for a joyous day singing, followed by an evening concert of music performed by Levens Choir and the performance of Antonin Dvorak's, Mass in D.
Dvorak's piece is full of gorgeous melodies, typical of its composer. Written in 1887 it is scored for choir and organ and is a thoroughly satisfying setting of these familiar texts.
The Mass will form the second half of the concert. Levens Choir is delighted to be hosting this event and will perform in the first half from its repertoire of music to be sung in the following week during its tour of the Norfolk. Adrian Self, organist and Musical Director at Cartmel Priory, will accompany.
The day will be led by the choir’s Founder and Musical Director, Ian Jones, well-known for his many successful “Come and Sing” sessions and performances of many of the great choral masterpieces such as the Verdi Requiem and, most recently, Britten’s War Requiem, Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius and the Dvorak Stabat Mater.
