Our Agora Choir Shines in an Unforgettable Concert with the Balearic Symphony Orchestra

Last Saturday, our choir had the honour of participating in a remarkable musical event, sharing the stage with the University Choir and the Balearic Symphony Orchestra in a stunning performance of John Rutter’s renowned Mass of the Children.

This concert, filled with emotion and artistic excellence, provided our young singers with a unique opportunity to experience music at the highest level, surrounded by seasoned musicians and accomplished vocalists.

A Work of Great Beauty and Depth

Mass of the Children is one of John Rutter’s most celebrated choral compositions, renowned for its ability to blend sacred and lyrical elements into a piece rich in contrast and nuance. The work brings together a children’s choir, an adult choir, and an orchestra, creating a truly remarkable sonic experience.

• A musical dialogue between generations: The interaction between youthful voices and the mature sound of adult choirs creates a deeply moving and powerful effect.
• A vibrant orchestration: Rutter’s music is characterised by its rich and enveloping orchestration, enhancing the expressiveness of the choral parts.
• Inspirational texts: The piece alternates between Latin liturgical passages and English verses, striking a perfect balance between tradition and modernity.

A Concert That Brings Generations Together

Beyond the musical brilliance of the evening, this concert was a powerful testament to the unifying power of music. The opportunity to sing alongside a university choir and a symphony orchestra allowed our students to develop their talent, learn from experienced musicians, and, most importantly, feel the excitement of being part of a large-scale artistic project.

The energy, dedication, and passion of our young singers were evident in every note, proving that musical education extends beyond the classroom and can become a truly transformative experience.

A Proud Moment for Our School Community

As a school, we are incredibly proud of each and every member of our choir and her director, Frederique Sizaret  for their hard work and commitment. Their participation in this event not only enriches their musical education but also fills us with pride as a community.

We would like to extend our gratitude to the University Choir, the Balearic Symphony Orchestra, and all the organisers for providing us with this extraordinary opportunity. We are certain that this concert will remain in the memories of all those who attended as a night of musical excellence and intergenerational connection.
