Sing Mass at St Peter's Basilica & Vivaldi's Gloria in Rome with Dr. Eric Stark

KIconcerts Vivaldi's Gloria Choir Festival, Rome 2014 with Eric Stark

I wish to introduce you to the 2014 Chamber Choir Festival in Rome, Italy, featuring Antonio Vivaldi’s exuberant “Gloria” for orchestra and chorus! Our festival brings together one of the greatest works ever in one of the world’s most magnificent cities for a cultural and performance experience second to none. I look forward to sharing this unforgettable opportunity with you and your singers!

See below for more information and feel free to be in contact with me regarding the music and with KIconcerts for touring information.

I look forward to seeing you in Rome!

Eric Stark
Artistic Director, Indianapolis Symphonic Choir Professor of Music
and Director of Graduate Studies, Butler University

  

Chamber choirs are especially welcome. Often, the opportunity to sing a major work for chorus and orchestra is only available to large groups. However, we know that some of the very best choruses are smaller, often numbering 60 or less.

We hope our festival, culminating in June 2014, in one of the world’s most culturally and history rich cities, Rome, can be an exciting part of your 2013-2014 programming. Working on this amazing repertoire, perhaps even performing it at home with your own ensembles, will reward your singers with the wonderful exposure to the majestic sounds of voices combined with instruments, in one of the most timeless and thrilling works of all time.

Dear Friends

Join me for a once in a lifetime event to one of the world’s leading tourist, entertainment and cultural cities – BARCELONA, SPAIN. The timing is perfect – over New Year’s 2014! Barcelona enjoys a temperate climate, some of the most striking architecture in the world, breathtaking venues and a population that loves music and culture.

This festival is a chance for full choirs, or parts thereof, to combine for a gala concert which I am honored to be conducting. Of course, individual venues and performances can also easily be arranged. I will enjoy the chance to present some of my music, to work with your choirs, and hear you in concert.

Great location! Great time of year! Great venues!

I hope to see you there!

“This meditative and deeply moving celebration of illumination in all its meanings - spiritual, intellectual, artistic - has enthralled singers and audiences throughout the world since its premiere in 1997.

Based on timeless texts from the Latin liturgy, the Lux Aeterna reminds us of those things that ennoble us and give us solace and strength as we experience both sorrow and joy.

Come join Voices Across the Pacific for the unforgettable experience of performing this acclaimed choral cycle with Maestra Buchanan in Australia!”



Composer Morten Lauridsen and Voices Across the Pacific invite you to come sing his radiant Lux Aeterna (Eternal Light) in the Sydney Opera House led by distinguished conductor Heather J. Buchanan.

Frank Ticheli London Festival ♪ New 2014 dates

The KIconcerts team has announced new dates for my London/Harrogate International Festival in 2014.

We are traveling a week earlier which I know suits many ensembles better. We will now depart North America on June 22, with our London Gala concert scheduled for the Central Westminster Hall on June 26 (TBD - check out the virtual tour) and our final gala concert in Harrogate on June 29 as the curtain raiser for the 2014 Harrogate International Festival. In between the combined events will be opportunities for individual and shared concerts and of course lots of the great sightseeing that England is rightly famous for.

I hope that you can consider joining me for this great musical and cultural experience. The last two international festivals with KIconcerts were tremendous successes – the Sydney Opera House in 2008 where we premiered Angels in the Architecture commissioned by KI and in 2011 in Italy where the finale performance of Vesuvius brought the house (cloister) down!

Feel free to be in touch about musical questions and with KIconcerts about the touring aspects.

Cheers

An invitation from Joshua Habermann: Italy 2014

Rome, Italy - St Peter's Basilica
I’d like to invite you to consider joining the Passion of Italy Festival I am leading in summer 2014. The festival will bring together fine singers from around the U.S. to perform in Rome, a city steeped in ancient history, and home to such sights as the Colosseum, one of the architectural wonders of the world.

We invite full ensembles or groups of singers (and their friends) to join us. In addition to singing for mass at St. Peter’s Basilica and a combined gala concert, choirs will also have the opportunity to give individual concerts, and even to expand their tour to such cities as Florence or Venice.

I will craft a program that is especially suited to the American choirs that will form the festival choir, and acoustically tailored to the glorious spaces in which we will perform. I know this will be a joyous celebration of the power of singing together, and I invite you to be in contact with KIconcerts for more information.

I hope to have the opportunity to explore glorious Rome together with you!

Kind regards,

Joshua Habermann
