FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Sanctuary Choir and Orchestra of Northwoods Presbyterian Church will present Giacomo Puccini’s Messe e Quattro voci (Mass for 4 Voices) on Sunday, May 18, 2008 at 7:00 P.M. in The Centrum of the Cypress Creek Christian Community Center. This special concert conducted by Kinley Lange will feature tenor soloist David Stephens and baritone Daryl Hunt. General admission tickets may be purchased by calling the church at 281-444-8861.
2008 marks the 150th birthday of the celebrated composer Giacomo Puccuni (1858-1924). Puccini was born into a family known for their service to the church as musicians and wrote his Messe in 1880 while at the Milan conservatory as a tribute to his father who died when Puccini was only five years old. This dramatic concert work is filled with the lyricism and dramatic power that would later characterize his beloved operas, La Boeheme, Tosca, Madama Butterfly and Turandot.
