Description
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Missa Brevis in F Major made its Trinidad and Tobago premiere at a concert entitled, “For Faith and
Music: A Mass for the People” at the All Saints’ Anglican Church in Port of Spain, under the musical direction of Michael Hudlin. This was Michael’s final recital concert required before completing his Master of Music in Conducting – Choral from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York.
The essence of this musical endeavor was to present a religious mass expressed with all the eloquence and passion of its master composer, Mozart. Over two hundred and forty years after having penned this mass, Mozart might be delighted to know that his music endures to be performed, accompanied by steelpan instruments invented in the 20th century and sung by a choral ensemble of Caribbean voices.

This was fantastic. The inclusion of the steelpans elevated the performances for me. I look forward to the next show!
