Gregorian Chant Concert
| December 14, 2008 | ||
| 4:00 pm | to | 5:00 pm |
Escape from the hustle and bustle of the season and bask in the refined music and reflective sounds presented by Florida Pro Musica. For the sixth year running, this professional ensemble returns with its extraordinarily popular concert performance of Gregorian Chant downtown at Sacred Heart Church, only a few minutes drive from Davis Islands, on Sunday, December 14, at 4 pm. Presented in a shorter concert style, rather than a church service, the program offers listeners a chance to experience the beauty of a sung mass as it might have sounded in the 11th or 12th centuries.
The program is the Mass for the 3rd Sunday of Advent. Selected lessons are read in English, and the printed program offers an English translation of the chants. The chants are sung from the loft at the rear of the church, and the music floats down to the listeners below, through the magnificent marble and stone interior of Sacred Heart Church. Larry Kent, Music Director of Florida Pro Musica, has been a resident of Davis Islands with his family for 12 years. He is proud to bring this tradition once again to the downtown area.
Admission to this event is free, as a gift to the Tampa Bay community. For more information, as well as directions to Sacred Heart, visit <a href=”http://www.FloridaProMusica.com”>www.FloridaProMusica.com</a> or call 813-293-4594. Florida Pro Musica is also celebrating its ten year anniversary, and has exciting plans in the works for spring 2009 concerts.
