Join the Knoxville Choral Society on Friday, November 1, 2024, in collaboration with members of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, for an evening of transcendent choral masterworks that inspire resilience, peace, and triumph. This powerful concert will feature two monumental works: Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s Te Deum and Joseph Haydn’s Missa in tempore belli (Mass in Time of War).Charpentier’s Te Deum opens the program with its radiant Baroque grandeur, blending majestic orchestral flourishes with jubilant choral praise. Written as a celebration of victory and gratitude, the Te Deum embodies a spirit of triumph and divine thanksgiving, making it a perfect prelude to Haydn’s deeply evocative Missa in tempore belli.
Known as the "Mass in Time of War," Haydn’s Missa in tempore belli reflects a poignant balance of hope and anxiety during a period of political unrest in Europe. Through its majestic melodies and stirring choral passages, this masterpiece expresses both the power of faith and the yearning for peace amidst conflict.
Under the direction of Dr. John R. Orr, this extraordinary collaboration will bring these timeless works to life, immersing the audience in an evening of beauty, reverence, and reflection. Whether you are a lover of choral music or someone seeking a deeply moving concert experience, this performance will resonate with the heart and soul.
Tickets are $15. Available online at www.knoxvillechoralsociety.org and at the door. This is a Penny4Arts performance. Any child accompanied by a paying adult will get in for $0.01.
