Bruckner E Minor Mass by Boulanger, Dove, Bruckner, wo. 21 jul 2021, Van (2021/2021), Dirigent Carlos Kalmar, Jay Pritzker Pavilion, Chicago, Verenigde Staten

This week, Carlos Kalmar presents a program of choral masterworks past and present, featuring the celebrated Grant Park Chorus. The concert opens with a marvelous psalm setting by Lili Boulanger, a composer who had been poised to shatter glass ceilings for women in music, but died tragically at the age of 24 in 1918. Also on the program, the Festival debut of music by the choral and operatic sensation Jonathan Dove; and a rare treat—a chance to hear a different side of Anton Bruckner, a composer who famously wrote massive, muscular symphonies, but especially poignant works for the choir loft.
