Gloriana is a Melbourne-based chamber choir founded in 1994 by its director Andrew Raiskums. Gloriana’s programs traverse a wide range of genres and styles but focus on the acappella performance of Renaissance and contemporary choral music. The warmth and excellence of the choir’s performances have been regularly praised by audiences and critics alike. With its stone and timber interior and heritage-listed Harrison organ, St Mark’s Anglican Church Fitzroy is an ideal venue for Gloriana’s 2009 concert series.
Rossini Petite Messe Solennelle: To celebrate
our 15th anniversary, Gloriana presents a special performance of Rossini’s Petite
Messe Sollennelle. Scored for choir, soloists, piano and harmonium,
it is one of Rossini’s most important and fascinating works. Paradoxically
being neither little, solemn nor especially liturgical in spirit, the miracle
of the Petite Messe Sollennelle is that
in the end it is also deeply moving. Gloriana is joined by soprano Danielle
Calder, mezzo Caroline Vercoe, tenor Jacob Caine, bass-baritone Sam Dundas,
Elyane Laussade on piano and Christopher Cook on harmonium.
