Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus Choral Concert
Sooke Community Hall, 2037 Shields Road
Nicholas Fairbank will conduct the orchestra, choir and soloists in two brilliant choral works from the late 18th century: Franz Joseph Haydn’s St. Cecilia Mass and the Coronation Mass by W.A. Mozart. The soloists in both works will be Jennifer Turner, soprano; Deanna Sills, mezzo-soprano; Timothy Carter, tenor; and Alex Chen, baritone.
Haydn composed this Mass in C for the famous pilgrimage church of Mariazell, Austria, in 1782. It has always been one of his most popular mass settings due in part to the brilliant orchestration, to which the trumpets and drums contribute so much festive joy.
Mozart’s Coronation Mass was completed a few years earlier in 1779, when he began work as the resident composer and organist at Saltzburg Cathedral, where it was first performed. It too has become a well-known work, with a celebratory spirit that requires a slightly larger orchestra than the Haydn, calling for a brass section of French horns, trumpets and trombones.
You are invited to join the orchestra and singers at 2:30 pm, Sunday March 23, at the Sooke Community Hall, 2037 Shields Road, for this inspiring concert. Tickets can be purchased directly from Sooke Pharmasave or online at Eventbrite tickets
