The ever creative and proactive Durban Chamber
Choir will be presenting two glorious mid-winter concerts over two weekends in
Pietermaritzburg on Sunday, July 21, 2019, and in Durban on July 28, 2019,
under the baton of Dr Christopher Cockburn entitled Mass Movement.
The Durban Chamber Choir’s mid-year programme
presents three musical responses to the text of the Latin Mass: Tomas
Victoria’s Missa O Magnum Mysterium,
Mozart’s Missa Brevis in F, and Christopher Cockburn’s Festival Mass No. 3.
The juxtaposition of these settings offers
the audience an opportunity not only to hear strongly contrasting musical
styles from three different eras, but also to compare three very different
approaches to the texts themselves.
There will be two performances over two
consecutive Sundays: in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday July 21 at 15h00 at
Hayfields Lutheran Church and in Durban on Sunday July 28 at 15h00 at St Thomas
Church, Musgrave.
In both cases, tickets R70 (R40 pensioners
and children) available at the door:
