MAGICAL MOZART

Mozart’s powerful Great Mass in C minor reveals Mozart at the height of his brilliance. This large-scale work, a missa solemnis, is scored for four soloists – two sopranos, a tenor and a bass – with a double chorus and orchestra. At Mozart’s death it remained unfinished, but it embodies the pomp and solemnity associated with the Salzburg traditions of the time.  It also anticipates the symphonic masses of Joseph Haydn.

 Completed a few years earlier, Vesperae solennes de confessore (Solemn Vespers for a Confessor) was composed for liturgical use in the Salzburg Cathedral. The Laudate Dominum is its best-known movement, with a beautifully written solo for soprano accompanied by choir and ensemble.

 Veni Sancte Spiritus is a beautiful example of Mozart’s youthful skill, composed when he was just 12!

The concert will; include favourite excerpts from Le Nozze de Figaro and Don Giovanni

Choir and soloists will be accompanied by an ensemble drawn from the Adelaide Concert Orchestra. https://adelaideconcertorchestra.com.au/
