An Evening of Russian Choral Music

Join the Harpenden Choral Society for an inspiring evening of unaccompanied sacred Russian choral music by Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Chesnokov, Labinski, Part, and Stravinsky.
Also featured on the programme will be Mussorgsky’s hauntingly beautiful song cycle, Songs and Dances of Death, sung by bass soloist Piotr Lempa, and accompanied by pianist Vivien Powles. Considered to be a masterpiece of the genre, each song in Mussorgsky’s cycle deals with death experiences common in 19th century Russia; child death, death in youth, drunken misadventure and war - in a poetic manner. For a musical evening that celebrates the beauty, scope and variety of Russian song, this is a programme not to be missed.
