Igor Stravinsky's <i>Mass</i>
Thursday, September 27, 2012 Grand Pavilion 12:30PM
Scot Hanna-Weir, conductor 
Join members of the UMD Chamber Singers and of the UMD Wind Orchestra for a free performance of Stravinsky's Mass. Stravinsky was, first and foremost, a composer of ritual music. His earliest works involved secular and pagan rituals drawn from the culture of his native Russia. One of Stravinsky's only works written without a commission, Mass was instead a product of spiritual necessity.
