The Festival’s own Chorus is joined by the wonderful choir, Echo, in a performance of Dvorak’s Mass in D written in 1887 for Josef Hlavka to celebrate the inauguration of a private chapel at his summer residence. Originally scored for organ, here this charming and gentle work is performed with the exciting arrangement for wind quintet. To begin the concert, we have some classic and elegant works for wind quintet exploiting the rich sonorities of these five instruments.
