Is this sacred music or cursed music?"

Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868) dominated Italian opera composers in the first half of the 19th century. The "Little Solemn Mass" composed by Rossini in his later years will be performed with the original composition (four voices, mixed chorus, harmonium, and two pianos) as it was when it was first performed in 1864. Although it is a religious work, it is full of secular and modern sounds typical of Rossini, an opera composer, and you will not feel the 90-minute performance time. Under the baton of the up-and-coming conductor Tomoya Matsukawa, the ensemble will be led by a distinguished lineup of Japan's leading opera singers, Saki Nakae, Yuki Sugiyama, Iwao Onuki, and Takashi Aoyama; the harmonium, a rare keyboard instrument, will be played by a specialist on this instrument, Akiko Nishizawa; and piano players Tomoki Akiyama and Mazuzu Yamanaka, both graduates of the Paris Conservatory, are also distinguished. The piano will be played by Tomoki Akiyama and Asuzu Yamanaka, both from the Conservatoire de Paris. Please look forward to a performance by the Orff Festival Choir with all its might.
