- Notes: A favorite of audiences and performers alike, the “Coronation Mass” will be performed with professional soloists and an orchestra on Friday, Aug. 18 and Sunday, Aug. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Congregational Church of Boothbay Harbor. For more information, contact Lincoln Arts Festival at 207-633-3913 or lincolnartsfestivalbbh@gmail.com. The Mass in C Major “Coronation Mass,” composed in 1779, is one of the most popular of Mozart’s 17 settings of the Latin mass texts. It most likely premiered on Easter Sunday in 1779 in Salzburg Cathedral. The soloists for this marvelous work will be soprano Mary Sullivan, mezzo-soprano Jenna Guiggey, tenor David Myers-Wakeman, and bass-baritone John David Adams. As a special treat, David Myers-Wakeman will sing two arrangements of hits from The Platters, including “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” and “The Great Pretender.” Several shorter pieces will also be featured on the program, including arrangements of “Blue Skies,” “In The Still Of The Night,” “It Don’t Mean A Thing,” “Mister Sandman,” “Over the Rainbow,” and more. Tickets are $25 and are available online at lincolnartsfestival.org or at Sherman’s Maine Coast Book Shop in Boothbay Harbor. They may also be purchased at the door starting 30 minutes prior to each performance.
