Programme Note

Award-winning choir Chantage invite you to a performance of Rachmaninoff's All-night vigil Op.37 (sometimes known as the ‘Vespers’) by Candlelight, marking 150 years since the composer's birth.

The All-night vigil is a beautiful and moving setting of texts from the Russian Orthodox Church liturgy. It was composed in just two weeks in January and February 1915 shortly before the Russian Revolution and is considered by many to be the culmination of an era of Russian sacred music.

An introductory talk will be delivered by Irina Walters, choral conductor and lecturer on Russian and Eastern European choral music

The performance will take place at St Dunstan in the West, the spiritual home of the Romanian Orthodox Church in London for over 50 years, and a stunning venue for this sublime music.
