Virtual Vivaldi Gloria | Autumn Concert 2021
Rochester Choral Society invites you to enjoy our virtual performance of the Vivaldi Gloria - below or on YouTube.
As we complete a whole year in which Covid-19 has prevented us singing together as a choir, members of Rochester Choral Society have again been making separate recordings of their voices, which have now been skilfully blended together into the third of our Virtual Concerts. For our Spring Concert, we have chosen Vivaldi's Gloria, a piece whose cheerful effervescence reflects the optimism of a new year and the hope that we (and other choirs all over the world) will soon be able to raise our voices together in person again. The concert begins in Rochester, before moving to Vivaldi's home city of Venice, using the beautiful photography of Stefan & Sara Venter at upixphotography.com.
This online event is free. However, if you would like to support the Rochester Choral Society then please feel free to make a donation.
