The performance will feature acclaimed soprano Angela Meade, mezzo-soprano Tamara Mumford, tenor Yeghishe Manucharyan and bass-baritone Burak Bigili accompanied by the Brooklyn Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall at 2pm.
The Stabat Mater is the first of Dvo?ák's work with a religious theme. Started after the loss of his daughter and later completed in 1877 after the death of two more of his children, this monumental piece - extremely spiritual and reflective of the composer's personal life experiences - is one of the most powerful of Dvo?ák's compositions.
