Festival Choir of Madison
The venerable Festival Choir of Madison offers music with a conscience and a global perspective, but also has tackled esoteric topics like angels and demons. At this concert, the choristers will explore another rarefied subject: fate. What does fate sound like? We’ll get to hear some of the answers as artistic director Sergei Pavlov conducts Brahms’ “Gesang der Parzen” (Song of the Fates) and Schicksalslied (Song of Destiny), Verdi’s “Stabat Mater” and Borodin’s caffeinated “Polovtsian Dances.” The concert also features the robust playing of Romanian pianist Samir Golescu (pictured).
press release: Festival Choir of Madison will present the first concert of the season, “Songs of Fate”, on Saturday, November 2, 2019, at 8:00 PM at Luther Memorial Church, 1021 University Ave., Madison.
The choir under its artistic director, Sergei Pavlov, will perform “Gesang der Parzen” and “Schicksalslied” by Johannes Brahms, “Stabat Mater”by Giuseppe Verdi, and Alexander Borodin’s “Polovtsian Dances,” featuring the Romanian pianist Samir Golescu.
