Hail! Bright Cecilia: A Purcellian Feast

🎶 Join us for a remarkable evening dedicated to the brilliance of Henry Purcell, widely heralded as England’s greatest composer of the 17th century! Known for his extraordinary talent in setting English text with clarity and elegance, Purcell has left an indelible mark on music history.

✨ This unique program will feature the full performance of Hail, Bright Cecilia (1692), a work that has never been seen in its entirety in Kansas City! Accompanying this magnum opus are two majestic pieces: I Was Glad written for the coronation of James II, and the uplifting Bell Anthem, Rejoice in the Lord, Alway. Each composition reflects the grandeur of England’s sacred heritage and traditions of pageantry.
