ANNUAL MASTERWORKS CONCERT
Windsor | Lenox, 3 p.m.
Berkshire Lyric is presenting their annual Masterworks Concert on Sunday June 2 at 3 pm at Seiji Ozawa Hall, Tanglewood. The 95 voice chorus, accompanied by a full orchestra, will perform three great masterpieces of the choral literature, all of them addressing loss and turmoil. The central work on the program is the dramatic Bruckner Mass in f minor. The F minor Mass is the monumental, life-affirming music which Bruckner composed in the year following his three-month-long recuperation at a sanatorium.  The concert will also include Brahms Nänie , one of his last compositions for mixed chorus and orchestra, a miracle of serenity and Brahmsian beauty. Schiller’s text muses on the transitory nature of beauty, life, love and glory. Biographer Hugh MacDonald calls it “possibly the most radiant thing he ever wrote.”   The concert will open with Arvo Pärt’s Da Pacem Dominum, a brief a cappella prayer for peace composed in 2004. Emerging from the currents of twentieth century minimalism, it is music which inhabits the quiet, meditative space of Gregorian chant and early polyphony. The vocal soloists are soprano Lily Lothrop of Pittsfield, mezzo-soprano Adriana Zabala of New Haven, Joshua Sanders of Madison, Wisconsin and a new resident of Great Barrington, Doug Williams. Ms. Lothrop is making her debut at Ozawa Hall with Lyric after having grown up with the organization as a young singer while attending Taconic High School. The other soloists have enjoyed  substantial national and international careers. The 60 piece orchestra is comprised of professional musicians from the Berkshires, as well as members of the Albany and Hartford Symphonies.
