May Festival
In Cincinnati, where one can experience four seasons in a week, May is when Spring has finally settled. And there is no other words could describe the joy of the season better than music, along with talented, well trained voices in harmony.
The Opening Concert is May 20, 8:00pm at Music Hall. Music Director James Conlon leads May Festival Chorus and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Dvořák’s Stabat Mater. Stabat Mater is about grief, a work that Dvorak did after the death of his two-days old daughter. It was based on Psalm 149 and also the grief Mary has for the death of Jesus prior to the ressurection. Listening to Stabat Mater is like watching the Passion of Christ in slow motion. The pain seems so real even if one is not a mother.
