RACHMANINOFF VESPERS
Russian Liturgical
Masterwork  
Sunday, April 13, 2008 at 7:30 p.m.
Church of St. Thomas the Apostle
872 Farmington Avenue, West Hartford

Concert Tickets $45 preferred seating; $25 general admission; $10 students; 2-for-1 general admission with your Let*s Go! card.

When Rachmaninoff's Vespers (also known as the All Night Vigil) was first performed in 1915, it was hailed as his greatest musical masterpiece. It has been called "the greatest musical achievement of the Russian Orthodox Church," where the Vigil service is celebrated on the eves of Sundays and other feast days.

The glorious acoustic of St. Thomas the Apostle Church is the perfect setting for this a cappella masterwork - an unparalleled experience, not to be missed.

CONCORA will perform the same program at the Church of St. Mary, 538 Broadway, Providence, Rhode Island on Sunday, April 20 at 5:00 p.m.
