- Notes: Listen to the Vivaldi Gloria sung by the Lincoln Festival Chorus this summer, in person! Under the leadership of Artistic Directors Linda Blanchard and Sean Fleming, the Lincoln Festival Chorus celebrates its 41st season with the joyful Vivaldi Gloria, and selections from the ever-popular Randall Thompson setting of Robert Frost poems, Frostiana. Favorites of audiences and performers alike, these time-honored masterpieces will be performed on Friday and Sunday, August 6 and 8, at the Congregational Church of Boothbay Harbor. Both performances will be at 7:30 PM. Don’t miss this chance to be part of the Chorus’ special celebration! For two centuries after Vivaldi’s death, the Gloria lay undiscovered until the late 1920s, when it was found buried among a pile of forgotten Vivaldi manuscripts. It was not performed until 1939, and found instant popularity. Vivaldi’s accessible Gloria has since been performed in thousands of performances worldwide. The fully-vaccinated Lincoln Festival Chorus has been a favorite of audiences since the 1980s. Recent past summer concerts for the group include a highly acclaimed performance in 2019 of the Mozart Requiem, and the Fauré Requiem in 2018.
