Gioachino Rossini: Petite Messe Solennelle

Royal Leamington Spa Bach Choir

This is the long-retired Rossini’s last and humorous “sin of old age”, an unconventional setting of the conventional texts of the Mass.  The work was written for performance in a Parisian salon, and our concert will take place in the classical splendour of Leamington Spa's Royal Pump Rooms.  Our soloists will be April Koyejo (soprano), Cerys Purser (mezzo-soprano), Monwabisi Lindi (tenor) and Blaise Malaba (bass), and we will be partnered by Colin Druce on piano and Ben de Souza on accordion. Conductor: Lee Dunleavy.
