Rachmaninoff Vespers in Providence on 19 November 2023
Sunday, November 19, 2023, 1500 - 1630
Sergei Rachmaninoff was one of the last great composers in the Romantic era. He considered his All-Night Vigil (commonly referred to as "Vespers") to be his greatest musical accomplishment.

Rachmaninoff's choral writing has an almost symphonic feel, with a rich texture created by up to eleven vocal lines. He uses the full range of the human voice, from soaring soprano to the deep bass typical of Slavic choral music. The composer based several movements on Eastern Orthodox chant and set the text in the medieval language Church Slavonic, giving the work a sense of timeless beauty.

This choral masterwork will be performed by the Providence Singers, an 85-voice concert choir under the direction of Dr. Christine Noel.

"This outfit is one of the finest choirs in all of New England, based right here in Providence."
