Program areas at Washington Master Chorale

WMC opened its 13th season with Autumn Harvest, a concert of beautiful romantic and modern choral works for guitar, piano, and chorus. The program included works inspired by the En Plein Air or outdoor style of painting, with poetry about autumn and the outdoors. In December, the Washington Master Chorale presented a concert of a cappella and accompanied seasonal masterpieces, including Francis Poulenc's Quatre motets pour le temps de Noel and Tomas Luis de Victoria's ancient masterpiece Missa O Magnum Mysterium. WMC concluded its 13th season with a landmark event, the world premiere of The Unknown Sea by renowned composer David Conte. Featuring mezzo-soprano Lena Seikaly, SATB chorus, piano, and chamber orchestra, the piece is based on the texts of preeminent American poet Elizabeth Bishop. The Unknown Sea was paired with Ralph Vaughan Williams's masterful cantata, Dona Nobis Pacem, based on Walt Whitman's poems and texts from the Hebrew Bible and Latin Mass, re-orchestrated by British composer and conductor Jonathan Rathbone.
