7:30 pm
Sullivan Auditorium, Worcester State College
Set in feudal Japan, the two act comic opera "The
Mikado", or "The Town of Titipu" is the inveterate duo
Gilbert and Sullivan's most beloved and famous opera,
with the witty and highly entertaining social satire of
Gilbert still ringing as true in our own day as in
Victorian England. Worcester Opera Works joins forces
with the Master Singers to present a sterling selection
of soloists from across the region in a semi-staged
performance of the complete score, including all of
Sullivan's inimitable choruses.

Salem Covenant Church, Worcester
In a program celebrating the range of English music
from the past to the present, the Master Singers present
a mass of the Tudor composer William Byrd, as well as
folk settings and part songs of later centuries. The
Worcester Children's Chorus join the Master Singers for
the final work "Songs and Cries of London Town" by the
living composer Bob Chilcott. This "capital cantata"
combines inspiration from earlier London composers such
as Gibbons and poets Dunbar and Wordsworth, with
contemporary impressions of the English capital's many
sights, sounds, and moods.
