Overview
Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle (Little solemn mass), written in 1863, is a glorious celebration of sacred music written by Rossini towards the end of his life. Neither little nor solemn, this is a work of profound beauty and exultant joy.
Written for two pianos and a harmonium, with four soloists and a choir, our collaboration with The University of Queensland sees us joined by two of Australia’s great pianists in 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.
