Neil Ferris, conductor
Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle, the best known of his ‘sins of old age’, is characteristically lyrical with beautifully crafted solo arias. Originally conceived for twelve voices, and scored for piano and harmonium, the Mass is neither small nor solemn. Join Sonoro at 7:30pm for a vivacious performance of this glorious work.
Workshop 10:30am-3:30pm
