Presented by Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
Mass of Deliverance
The human voice is an instrument that connects us all.
Hear it sing through two radiant pieces of music from England's beloved choral composer John Rutter. His 1970s Gloria begins with a surprisingly high-energy fanfare, and his Hymn projects sacred traditions into our modern era.
MSO Chorus and musicians will perform these elevating works at Melbourne Recital Centre, led by the gentle sway of conductor Warren Trevelyan-Jones. Dan Walker's Mass of Deliverance brings a local voice to our contemporary choral program. Walker's music is filled with hypnotic moments that chime with magic and majesty. It pays direct homage to Rutter's Gloria, particularly through the choice of instruments, and was designed to uplift.
If this concert leaves your ears open to hearing more live music, why not attend the next concert on the same day? Take a dinner break to contemplate the gorgeous music of Rutter and Walker, then return to the venue to hear the MSO Wind Ensemble performing Strauss and Mozart.
Duration: 1 hour (no interval). Please note, running times are approximate and subject to change.
