Bermuda School Of Music’s ‘Spring Concert’

The Bermuda School of Music will present  their ‘Spring Concert’ on Friday, June 9 and Saturday, June 10 at St. John’s Church in Pembroke.

A spokesperson said, “The Bermuda School of Music presents a Spring Concert. The Bermuda Chamber Choir & Orchestra with The Bermuda School of Music Youth Choir

• Friday, 9th June- 7:30 pm
• Saturday 10th June-7:30 pm
• Director: Marjorie Pettit
• Orchestra led by: Kerry Haslam

“Featuring Requiem in D minor by W.A. Mozart.

“Soloists: Joanna Sherratt Wyer, Wanda Barnes, Kevin Lee, Peter Nash

“Director Marjorie Pettit presents an evening of thrilling choral classics with her Spring Concert performed by the Bermuda Chamber Choir & Orchestra with The Bermuda School of Music Youth Choir on Friday June 9th and Saturday June 10th.

“The programme features works by Mozart, Handel, Borodin, Verdi and Humperdinck for an exciting and nostalgic sampling of the classics.

“When questioned about the programme, which includes Mozart’s Requiem in D minor and Zadok the Priest by Handel, Mrs. Pettit said she was inspired to acknowledge both the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth, and the May Coronation of King Charles.

“The Requiem in D minor was commissioned by a German Aristocrat for a Requiem Mass in memory of his deceased wife, and Mozart worked on it until the evening of his death. It stands as one of the great choral Requiem masterpieces and is especially fitting in light of the Queen’s passing in September.

“Zadok the Priest was written by Handel for the coronation of King George II in 1727 and has been used at every British coronation since, but the words of the piece were based on the biblical account of the anointing of Solomon by the priest Zadok, and they have been used in English coronations since the 10th century.

“In addition to these great works, Mrs. Pettit has also included in the programme some children’s choral highlights from the Opera “Hansel and Gretel”.

“A Spring Concert promises to be yet another thrilling event, and as with all of Mrs. Pettit’s concerts tickets will go quickly. Purchase your tickets today and avoid disappointment.
