Pärt - Stabat Mater ft. Fretwork, Oxford

  • SJE Arts, Oxford OX4 1EH (map)

Join us as we team up with renowned viol consort Fretwork to present a programme of contemplative music reflecting on the Easter story by Arvo Pärt and Robert White.

While they were written centuries apart, both Pärt and White, in their different ways, convey the Holy Week liturgy with extraordinary intensity. Pärt’s haunting and ethereal Stabat Mater is presented in a new version for voices and viols, while Robert White’s justly-celebrated work laments the ancient destruction of Jerusalem with masterly and powerfully expressive counterpoint.

Programme
Arvo Pärt - Stabat Mater
Solfeggio, Fratres, Da Pacem Domine, Summa
Robert White - Lamentations à 5

The concert will run without an interval and last ~1h15mins
