Programme Note
Teddington Choral Society and its Musical Director, Julian Collings, are delighted to announce their forthcoming spring concert: Dvořák’s Stabat Mater
Dvořák started working on this composition in 1876 and completed it the following year after the deaths of his two surviving children in close proximity to one another. It was first performed in Prague on 23 December 1880.
Traditionally, Stabat Mater compositions describe the suffering of a mother facing the death of her son on the Cross. Although Dvořák’s Stabat Mater composition does present a musical setting underlying the suffering and pain from loss, it also contains optimism and hope.
The concert promises to be a powerful, thrilling and moving performance.
Doors will open at 6:45pm.
