Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Peter Butterfield conducts the Victoria Philharmonic Choir in this choral masterwork, a setting of the traditional Mass for the Dead, which weaves centuries-old Gregorian plainchant with the rich harmonies of mid-20th century French organ music.

Soloists: Hilary Tufford (mezzo-soprano), Louise Dillon (baritone)

Robert Quinney began playing the organ at age ten, and is the Director of the Choir of New College, Oxford. This concert will feature Mr Quinney playing Duruflé’s Scherzo and Francis Pott’s Toccata.

This concert is presented in partnership with Christ Church Cathedral, with the generous support of the CRD Arts and Culture Support Service.
