A free performance of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis in St Paul's Cathedral on the occasion (to the very day) of the 200th anniversary of its first performance in St Petersburg in 1824. The mass (which the composer himself ranked as his finest composition) sets the text of the Ordinary of the Catholic Mass. The performance will be in liturgical context, likely the first such presentation of the work ever in Australia.
The performance is free and open to all (a retiring collection will be taken).
Soloists: Lee Abrahmsen (Soprano), Liane Keegan (Alto) Robert Macfarlane (Tenor), Christopher Hillier (Bass).
Vocal Soloists of Melbourne
The Orchestra Project
Conducted by Peter Tregear
