Dvorak Stabat Mater Among all settings of the Stabat Mater over the centuries, this one by Dvok holds a special place as the most symphonic. Based on a Latin poem that meditates on the Virgin Marys grief at the death of her son, Jesus; it was written only six months after Dvork lost his own son. Dvok had a close and productive relationship with his faith in God. His Stabat Mater premiered in Prague on December 23rd, 1880 and soon after in England. He went on to compose several significant works for English ensembles, such as the 7th Symphony for the Philharmonic Society (1885), St Ludmilla for Leeds (1886), Requiem Mass for Birmingham (1890). Faith in God was for Dvork the cornerstone on which he built his own life and work. His son, Otakar noted that this fathers "God was not the God of Vengeance but the Creator, who sanctifies the journey through the valley of death through his infinite love. And this is fully reflected in this heart-breakingly powerful music. Dvoks Romance for Violin and Orchestra is a rich and rewarding single-movement work, which was premiered in 1877, three years before his Stabat Mater. It will be performed in this concert by the violinist, Christian Halstead. The choir will be accompanied by the professionals - Soprano - ELeanor Pennell Briggs, Alto - Kathy Bell, Tenor - Gareth Morris, Bass - Daniel Tate, Solo Violinist - Christian Halstead and Kent Sinfonia Full tIcket price 18 , under 18's free entry (Adult tickets on door 20).
