Upcoming Concert
MAGNIFICAT Join one of Melbourne's leading choirs in a glorious concert featuring three exquisite settings of the Magnificat and one of the most famous double concertos ever composed. The Magnificat is the Virgin's joyous prayer in response to hearing that she will bear the Son of God. This hymn has inspired composers through the centuries, including Vivaldi (1678-1741), Pergolesi (1710-1736) and C.P.E.Bach (1714-1788), and will be performed in the stunning setting of All Saints' Church, St Kilda East. Vivaldi's famous Double Concerto in C Major for Two Trumpets and Strings is a festive work, notable for its beautiful melodies and virtuosic solo passages. Showcasing the talents of two of Melbourne's brightest young instrumental stars, this work is a fitting complement to the granduer of the three Magnificat setting.
