ROSSINI ‘STABAT MATER’
About
Sunday 11 August, 3:00 pmSt Finbar’s Church, Levy Street, Glenbrook
The ‘Stabat Mater’ for chorus and soloists was composed late in Rossini’s career after he retired from the composition of opera, yet it still contains all the hallmarks of his flamboyant style. Dramatic and moody choral movements are interspersed with arias of show stopping virtuosity for the four soloists. Previous guest artists, soprano Julie Jong Eun Barber, and mezzo-soprano Elizabeth Cooper join us once again, along with tenor Warren Fisher and bass-baritone Timothy Nunn.
The performance will be accompanied by Heather Moen Boyd, on St Finbar’s organ. The organ was built in Plymouth in the 1880s then moved to Glenbrook in 1995 where it has been lovingly restored and redecorated.
