A woolly Noah's Ark... Dvořák's Stabat Mater live in Wetherby Saturday, 7:30pm, Saturday February 29, in St James' Parish Church 
This deeply moving piece, based on a 13th century poem, reflects on what Mary, the mother of Jesus, might have felt as she watched her son die on the cross, and invites the listener to join with her in the powerful emotions of both grief and joy. The work was composed after a period of intense personal tragedy when, in the space of two years, three of his children died while still young, and as he watched the grief of his wife, Anna. *Stabat Mater* ('Mother standing') uses unusually sublime musical expression, free of any form of triviality or superficial effects. The score is particularly valued for its beauty and variety, deliberately drawing on the combination of human voices and rich orchestral colour. It is a work of grief and despair, but ultimately of solace and healing, culminating in the glorious Amen - a most appropriate work for the Lenten period. Performed by Wetherby Choral Society and professional soloists, this will be an evening to remember. Tickets, priced £20, are available online, or from Nicolla Florists, or on the door.
