Konzert: Jenkins' Stabat Mater with Maestro Norbert Kreiner

am 29. März. 2015 in der St. Sebald Kirche Erlangen um 17 Uhr

Composed by Welsh composer Kar Jenkins in 2008, this stunning Stabat Mater incorporates both traditional Western music with ethnic instruments and vocals. The soloists exchange with each other between English and Aramaic, and the orchestration is noted for its strong use of timpani. This is one work that is well worth hearing!!
