Rachmaninoff | Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, Op. 31

The Thirteen explores the vocal music of Sergei Rachmaninoff, following our “finely tune[d]… expert, highly responsive” (Washington Classical Review) performances of his All Night Vigil in 2023. Written five years before the Vigil, in 1910, the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is a work on a yet grander scale. “Beautiful and grandly mystical… exud[ing] a spiritual force that is deeply moving and restorative” (New York Times), Rachmaninoff’s Liturgy exalts the power, beauty, and emotive range of the human voice. This concerto for choir in a symphonic palette has moved audiences for over 100 years with soaring melodies, rich harmonies, and vocal pyrotechnics.

This program is made possible by a generous gift from Charles Cerf & Cindy Dunbar and J. Penny Clark. The Thirteen’s Vocal Fellows Program is made possible by a gift from the Andrew Warnock Clarke & Martin ‘Chip’ Sherrill Family Foundation.
