Mariakonsert | Tønsberg Domkor | Søndag 23.mars kl 18.00

Tønsberg Domkor present a concert titled "Magnificat" (Maria's song) on Mariabudskapsdag. 

Repertoire for this concert takes inspiration from various texts concerning Mary and the feast 

of the annunciation. Stylistically, the music will be centred around the English choral 

tradition- specifically Evensong. The Magnificat text is sung at every Evensong service, so 

this is a natural marriage. Additionally, vikardirigent Timothy Ferguson has a long experience 

working in this tradition from his time working and studying in the UK.

Together with organist Espen Melbø, the choir will sing, amongst others, music by Stanford, 

Howells, and Holst. Central to the programme is Holst's setting of Ave Maria. This rarelyperformed work is written for 8-voice female choir. The acoustic of Tønsberg domkirke will 

suit the rich harmonies and spacious melodies perfectly.
