Add this concert to ICALFirst Inversion’s debut concert features a joyous Mass setting by Gioacchino Rossini. The composer’s self confessed “last sin of old age,” this delightful Mass (neither small nor solemn!) features a unique ensemble including chorus, soloists, two pianos, and harmonium. The work, at times dramatic, humorous, or delightful, is unabashedly theatrical in its rendering of the traditional sacred text. 2014 marks the 150th anniversary of the premiere performance.
