Back to What's onOla Gjeilos’s renowned Sunrise Mass for chorus and string orchestra is an exceptionally light and moving piece; it conveys the composers modern and original take on the centuries-old tradition of sacred music. Ola Gjeilo notes that he wanted to present the traditional Latin text in a new way – the Sunrise Mass turns a remarkably bright, spacious, almost cosmic sound into one more worldly and rugged, while feelings of lightness are replaced by much more dramatic emotions.
KorMalta presents this work, in collaboration with Teatru Manoel, for the first time with its full formation, proposing what is certainly a highlight in the choir’s repertoire and for the inaugural concert of its 2023/2024 Season.
