Glories of France
Company: Assabet Valey Mastersingers
Assabet Valley Mastersingers is proud to provide a bonus concert this season. Glories of France, Requiem in d minor by Gabriel Faure and Gloria by Francis Poulenc, will be presented on Saturday, June 11, 2022 at 8:00pm at The Congregational Church of Westborough, MA. Dr. Robert P. Eaton, Founder and Artistic Director, will conduct the chorus with soprano Kristen Watson and baritone Thaddeus Bell, accompanied by organist Brett McGuire.
This concert pairs two of France’s most acclaimed choral composers. Faure’s Requiem is a sublime statement of faith with some of the most beautiful melodies he ever composed. Like the Requiems of Durufle and Brahms, it provides comfort and consolation and has become a favorite of performers and audiences alike, By contrast Poulenc’s Gloria is an exuberant declaration of praise with lively rhythms, beautiful melodies and an overall eclectic musical style.
Concert tickets may be purchased through www.AVMsingers.org or at the venue the evening of the concert. The price is $20.00 and $15.00 for seniors and students.
