A Postcard from Paris
About
Conductor: Christopher Van TuinenPerformed by: WAAPA Chorale with Alessandro Pittorino (Organ)
The Classical Voice students’ annual choral concert at St. Mary’s Cathedral is a highlight of the WAAPA calendar. This year, in collaboration with the Western Australian Opera, WAAPA is delighted to have WAO’s Artistic Director, Christopher van Tuinen, conducting the choir in a French-inspired program of works. Gounod’s Missa de Sancta Cecilia, with one foot in the church and the other in the opera house, forms the emotional core of the evening. Counterpointing this are the sublime sounds of Gregorian chant, a ravishing song cycle by Louis Vierne, motets by Maurice Duruflé, and a movement from Louis Vierne's gothic-inspired Mass. This concert will transport you to a place of beauty and praise.
