Solaris will be the Guest Artist performing with Bella Voce at these EPIC 20th Anniversary Celebration Concerts!
|
Bella Voce’s spring concerts feature one of the gems among the large works for chorus with orchestra, Francis Poulenc’s dynamically stirring Gloria. Poulenc’s setting of the Gloria (composed in 1959/60) is a six-movement work for mixed voices and full orchestra. Joining Bella Voce for the performances of this major work will be the Solaris Vocal Ensemble plus additional tenors and basses along with 35 instrumentalists from across northern Vermont. From the resoundingly powerful opening statement “Gloria in excelsis Deo” through the rhythmically exhilarating “Laudamus te” to the ethereal reflections of the soprano soloist – Poulenc’s compositional brilliance is evident throughout this un-paralleled work! |
Thank you to all who attended our April Concerts! We enjoyed presenting great music to full audiences and look forward to more.
