If you get the opportunity, I highly recommend singing Zelenka's Missa Dei Patris. Buckets of joy learning and performing it last week. Thank you Aoife Hiney and @zezerearts.bsky.social 📸 © André Roma.

Did you know that ZêzereArts has a strong commitment to supporting and promoting living composers? From Portugal or much further afield, newcomers to the most famous, including Eurico Carrapatoso, David Miguel, Reena Esmail, Ola Gjeilo… It’s a vital and rewarding aspect of our programme. Interested?

Join our Festival Choir for a rare opportunity to sing Zelenka’s Missa Dei Patris. A gifted composer within the Baroque tradition who had a unique, personal style, the ‘Bohemian Bach’ was arguably more representative of what was going on at that time. Have a listen: youtu.be/_ajL20J2Al8?...
