Petite Messe Solennelle
Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle (Little solemn mass), written in 1863, is anything but little and solemn, set to fill the iconic Concert Hall with over 100 performers on stage. This is a glorious celebration of sacred music written towards the end of Rossini’s life, a work of profound beauty and exultant joy.
Written for two pianos and harmonium, with four soloists and choir, our collaboration with The University of Queensland sees us joined by renowned organist Dr Graeme Morton and two of Australia’s great pianists – Anna Grinberg and Liam Viney.
Perfect for seasoned concertgoers and newcomers, Rossini combines orchestral and choral textures, to create a work distinguished by its unashamed romanticism.
