Rachmaninov Vespers - Brisbane - One Equal Music

About
After OEM’s successful first performance in 2023, we revisit Rachmaninov’s monumental All-Night Vigil in 2025, in both Brisbane and Towoomba. Premiered in 1915, this masterpiece was born in the shadow of World War I and hailed as one of the greatest choral works ever written. Composed in just two weeks during some of Russia’s darkest days, this music offered solace to a nation in turmoil, transcending its sacred roots to become a universal expression of resilience and hope.Rachmaninoff poured his soul into this work, blending ancient Russian chant traditions with his lush Romantic style to create something profoundly human and deeply spiritual. Featuring the soaring clarity of unaccompanied voices and the earth-shattering depths of the basso profundo, this is music that stirs the heart and lingers in the soul. Experience the All-Night Vigil live with One Equal Music and discover why Rachmaninoff considered it one of his finest achievements.
