Dvorak Stabat Mater

Add to my Calendar 10-03-2019 18:00 10-03-2019 20:00 36 Dvorak Stabat Mater The Symphony Chorus, under their new musical director Richard Wilberforce, present a concert of transportative Czech music including Janáček’s elegy for his beloved daughter and the original version of Dvořák’s Stabat Mater, composed after the death of his own daughter. This concert celebrates Dvořák and his personal and compositional connections; the programme also features a work by Suk, Dvořák’s son-in-law, and a composition of Dvořák’s arranged by Janáček. Though each of these works is a beautiful evocation in its own right, it is the Stabat Mater, a powerful combination of personal and religious meditation on pain and grief, but also jubilation and consolation, which is truly the focal piece of this concert.
