Timothy Carney and Scott Fikse will conduct the combined choirs with members of the Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra, internationally-renowned organist Jonathan Dimmock, and soloists Laurie Rubin, mezzo-soprano and Leslie “Buz” Tennent, baritone. Mr. Ferko will be in attendance for the premiere of his Mass.
Duruflé’s Requiem, while composed on the Gregorian chants of the Mass for the Dead, allows the listener to focus on life rather than on death, while receiving comfort in the face of the unknown. Ferko’s Missa O Magne Pater was commissioned on the suggestion of Crosier, and is patterned after Vaughan Williams’ Mass in G minor for unaccompanied double chorus. These Masses, with their mystical feeling, have brought the beauty of the Latin Mass into modern times.
The concert is free, and all are welcome.
