The 20th edition of the Christmas Concert will take place in the Cathedral of Pisa, organised by the Opera della Primaziale Pisana with the support of the Fondazione Pisa and Ministero della Cultura.
The programme features Franz Schubert’s Mass and Anton Bruckner’s Te Deum.
Franz Schubert composed the Mass D.324 in 1815, at only eighteen years of age. Structured in six parts (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus, Agnus Dei), it is a solemn work that reveals Schubert’s melodic and harmonic sensitivity, distinguished by gentle and enveloping modulations.
Anton Bruckner’s Te Deum, written in 1881 and later expanded in 1883–84, is the highest and most compelling expression of his profound religious spirit— a hymn of praise to God that impresses with its architecture and the absolute mastery of its choral and orchestral writing.
On the occasion of the concert, the public will have the opportunity to support, with a free donation, the solidarity project “Nuova Mensa”.
