[shirona <shirona...>]

> known ascetic church chants transformed by
> Rachmaninoff's intense mysticism, this is truly
> a musical gem. Characterized by incredibly
> beautiful musical expression, dazzling bell
> effects, and fullness of emotional color,
> the Rachmaninoff Vespers stands as the crowning
> achievement of the "Golden Age" of Russian
> Orthodox sacred choral music.
> 
> WHEN AND WHERE:
> Saturday, December 1 at 7:30 pm
> Sunday, December 2 at 3 pm, both events in
> St. James Chapel, Cathedral St. John the Divine

> 
> TICKETS: $20, $15 seniors and students
> at the door, and in advance by calling the
> Cathedral Box Office at 212-662-2133
> 
> We are very excited about these concerts, in
> which the Chorus continues its tradition of
> bringing to life beautiful but rarely-performed
> music. Please come, and bring a friend. And
> forward this e-mail to someone you know.
