Missa Solemnis – February 1, 2020 Maison Symphonique LiveEvents January 24, 2020 1124 Choeur classique de Montréal presents Missa Solemnis “My best work, my greatest work.” This is how Ludwig van Beethoven described his Missa Solemnis, a complex piece and one that is unique in its expression of metaphysical fervour. This masterpiece of the sacred repertoire, rarely produced because of its formidable technical requirements, represents a challenge for its performers. Two hundred and fifty years after the composer’s birth, 85 choristers of the Chœur classique de Montréal, soloists and orchestra, gathered under the skillful and experienced direction of conductor Louis Lavigueur, present to us for just one evening this imposing Missa Solemnis, composed by Beethoven “to arouse and instill permanent religious feeling in both singers and audience.” Artists Conductor: Louis Lavigueur, C.Q. Stéphanie Lessard, Soprano Geneviève Lévesque, Mezzo Rocco Rupolo, Tenor Scott Brooks, Bass L’Ensemble Sinfonia de Montréal For information and tickets: www.placedesarts.com 514-842-2112 or 1-866-842-2112 Related
