The Rochester Oratorio Society will perform Cathedral Classics by Request, their final concert of the 2017-2018 season, on April 20 at 7:30 p.m. at Asbury First United Methodist Church, 1050 East Avenue in Rochester.
“The splendid acoustical space and pipe organ of Asbury’s sanctuary provide the ideal setting for this program,” said Maestro Eric Townell, artistic director for the Rochester Oratorio Society. “We look forward to offering our audience a memorable, moving and beautiful concert.”
The program will feature well-known masterworks of the sacred repertoire by French composers Louis Vierne and Maurice Duruflé, both organ virtuosi who wrote beautifully for choir, appear alongside a brilliant “Regina coeli (Queen of Heaven),” by Mozart, and the radiantly austere and ecstatic “Totus tuus,” by Polish composer, Henryk Gorecki, written for St. John Paul II. The Rochester Oratorio Society is joined by a special guest, the Rochester East High School Choir, under the direction of Jodi Zajkowski.
Tickets for this concert are $25 for general admission and $10 for students with ID and are available from the ROS Office. Call 473-2234 or visit its web site, www.ROSsings.org.
