Haydn Theresienmesse

The second in our three-year Haydn mass cycle with this outstanding group of young singers promises great things, if last season’s performance of the ‘Nelson’ is anything to go by. A twelve minute wonder by the 18 year-old Haydn and a more mature mass, epic and transcendental, frame Bartok in radiant and virtuosic mood.

‘One of the most glorious choral concerts I can remember. What discipline from the dozen trebles.’ Eastern Daily Press
