On the 24th of April 2022 at 6 p.m. a concert presenting 20th century choral music will take place in the National Forum of Music. Diverse works by four composers will be performed by the NFM Choir and conducted by Lionel Owl.
The concert will begin with a piece by Danish composer Bo Holten In Nomine written in 1999 and lasting less than 5 minutes. Then we will listen to the Mass for a double choir by the Swiss composer Frank Martin written between 1922 and 1926. It consists of five canonical sections that make up the ordinarium missae: Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus and Agnus Dei.
The next composition will be Krzysztof Penderecki's Stabat Mater completed in 1963. The programme will culminate in a monumental arrangement of the Our Father prayer, composed in 1909 by Max Reger.
