UVic Chorus and Orchestra: Gloria

Giuseppe Pietraroia, Orchestra Conductor Kinza Tyrrell, Chorus Conductor Experience a vibrant afternoon of orchestral and choral masterworks! The UVic Orchestra opens the program with Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8, a joyful and warmly lyrical work filled with Bohemian dance rhythms, pastoral colours, and a celebratory sense of vitality. The UVic Chorus and Orchestra unite for Francis Poulenc’s exuberant Gloria. By turns playful, solemn, and soaring, this choral tour-de-force showcases Poulenc’s unmistakable blend of reverence and spirited joy.
