Anton Bruckner: In the Chapel of Linz

The Riga Project Choir opened its second season with a program dedicated to the works of Austrian Romantic master Anton Bruckner. The central work of the program was Bruckner's grandiose Mass in E Minor for choir and wind instruments, during which the choir was joined by 15 talented musicians from the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music.

While Bruckner is best known as a masterful symphonic composer, he also contributed several important works to the choral repertoire. Best known among these works are his motets, as well as ​several large pieces for choir and orchestra. Together with Bruckner's mass, the program included three of the composer's most famous a cappella motets.
