Upcoming Concert
Rachmaninoff: Vespers
A magnificent example of Russian Orthodox sacred choral music, composed in just 2 weeks, resulting from a culmination of interest in Russian sacred music spanning two decades.
As with all traditional Russian church music, it is performed a cappella as instruments were not allowable in Orthodox services. Although influenced by Tchaikovsky’s earlier sacred music, Rachmaninoff’s use of harmony and textual variety is unique and rich.
Conductor: Richard Pearce
Tickets available from ticketsource.co.uk/musicinromsey or from Oasis, Church Street (01794 512194).
