Subscription Concert 1
(This concert was repeated Sunday 11 March 2018 3:30pm at St Ambrose Catholic Church, Woodend)
This program features three works that are new to our repertoire, in company with a few past favourites. The major work is a Mass by the little-known Philippe Rogier based on a motet by Gombert. This beautiful work suggests that Rogier might hold a rather more significant place in music history if the majority of his output had not been destroyed in the Lisbon earthquake and tsunami of 1 November 1755.
