Lancaster and District Choral Society invite you to experience the exquisite beauty of Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle.
Composed in 1863, this remarkable work is one of Rossini's final compositions and showcases his operatic style with the words of the Solemn Mass.
Scored for four soloists, choir, piano, and harmonium, the Petite Messe Solennelle is a blend of intimate chamber music and grand choral writing, rich with emotion, complexity and vast dynamic contrasts.
Lancaster and District Choral Society will perform Rossini's masterpiece as originally intended with piano and harmonium accompaniment and four professional soloists. In the hands of our expert conductor John Perrin, it promises to be a magnificent concert.
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience this rare performance of Rossini's Petite Messe Solenelle.
