Join the Metropolitan Chorale for a program centered around the universal experiences of loss, mourning and joy. Four works by English composers, each associated with the death of a prominent historical figure, are followed by the jubilant rite of passage that is Pinkham’s Wedding Cantata.
The program will include:
- Henry Purcell: Funeral music of Queen Mary
- John Tavener: Song for Athene
- Herbert Howells: Take Him, Earth, for Cherishing
- Howard Goodall: Eternal Light: Lacrymosa: Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
- Morten Lauridsen: Soneta de la Noche
- Daniel Pinkham: Wedding Cantata
The Metropolitan Chorale is a 100-voice auditioned chorus that is recognized as one of Metro Boston’s premier choral ensembles. In addition to musical excellence, the Chorale is known for its camaraderie and diverse programming.
