Petite Messe Solennelle July 8, 2007

Rossini's final masterpiece - composed in 1864, an astonishing 35 years after his last opera - is a Mass of haunting beauty and intense expressiveness. Scored for a small ensemble of solo voices and three keyboard instruments, it blends operatic fervor with an unsuspected mastery of counterpoint and deep spirituality.

Performers to include: Julianna Di Giacomo, soprano; Laura Vlasak Nolen, mezzo-soprano; Barry Banks, tenor; Daniel Mobbs, bass-baritone; Caramoor Bel Canto Young Artists; Rachelle Jonck, piano; Eric Malson, piano; Lucy Yates, organ; Will Crutchfield, conductor
