​Sergey Rachmaninov All Night Vigil (Vespers)

Friday August 16, 7.30pm 
Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God, Russian Orthodox Church
1-7 Albion Street Brunswick East
 
One of only three choral works by Rachmaninov, the All-Night Vigil (or Vespers) stands at the pinnacle of the sacred music of the Russian Orthodox tradition. Rachmaninov’s transformation of traditional Orthodox chants through Romantic period harmony is unmatched in its beauty and technique.
MCC’s music director, Alan Cook, is a specialist in Russian repertoire and language and will direct this unique performance in Melbourne’s most beautiful Orthodox church, the very setting for which the work was composed.
