We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming concert!

RCCNY's 2012-2013 season honors the 140th birthday of Sergei Rachmaninoff. The concerts will journey beyond the composer's most well-known works, ranging from the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom to his secular cantata "Spring" (Vesna) -- all with the unmistakable beauty and richness that makes Rachmaninoff a favorite of music lovers everywhere.


Rachmaninoff Celebration: Sacred and Secular
April 24 and 28, 2013

RCCNY invites you to the second concert in our continuing celebration of Rachmaninoff's 140th birthday, which will include sacred and secular compositions that are among Rachmaninoff's most beautiful -- and least well known in the United States.

Join RCCNY in celebrating the remarkable and multifaceted inner world of the great Rachmaninoff. Our April program showcases the composer's versatile genius. We invite you to experience his mighty spirit in selections from "Vespers" and "Choral Concerto," the mysterious melancholy of his famous "Vocalise," the miraculous transformation of the soul and its renewal in the cantata "Spring," and the deep emotions and poetic images of nature in "Six Choruses for Women's Voices," written when Rachmaninoff was only 20 years old.
