The Programme

The programme is separated into three segments, starting with “The Pursuit of Faith” followed by “The Pursuit of Freedom” and concluding with “The Pursuit of Greatness”. An evening of beautiful music comprising Spirituals, Classical, Contemporary, Art songs and more awaits you!

 

Register today to enjoy a 90-minute concert combining the works of composers including Mendelssohn, Bardos, Ešenvalds and LaBarr, along with a special performance of Handel’s first autographed work, ‘Dixit Dominus’. ‘Dixit Dominus’ was first performed in 1707 in Montesanto, Italy and definitively marks the beginning of Handel’s early career. It now carries a reputation as one of the most vivacious and strident homages to the strength and glory of God.

 

The concert will also feature the world premiere performance of ‘Lamentation’, sung by Baritone Marc Morancie from the pen of Composer, Conductor Michael Hudlin. ‘Lamentation’ is an art song composed in response to the tragic death of George Floyd. The protagonist sings about his frustrations with the people who claim to believe in God, Truth, and Justice.

 

The Official Streaming Link will be available at a cost of TT$55.00 (US$7.99)
