Bernard Labadie and The English
Concert come to Sage Gateshead for
an exploration of one of the most
moving and iconic sacred texts ever
written. ‘The Stabat Mater’, attributed
to Jacapone da Toni, portrays the
mother of Christ as she stands at the
foot of the cross which bears her
crucified son. Vivaldi responded to the
often unbearably moving words with
sombre brilliance, and Pergolesi with
music of acute intimacy and emotional
directness which never fails to move.
With a pre-concert talk
Buses from Alnwick and Hexham.
Tickets: £10-£33
