The Laudate Dominum from Mozart's Vespers is one of his best-loved and familiar works; but the other pieces in the collection add up to a stunning celebration of Mozart's choral craft. Haydn's Missa in Angustiis ('for troubled times'), which became known as the Nelson Mass when it was first performed after the Battle of the Nile, has been described as  his "greatest single composition". Due to economies forced on the composer, the orchestra consists of strings, trumpets and timpani, giving the work a uniquely characteristic sound. 

We welcome four splendid soloists and a period instrument band to complement the choir in this concert of classical masterworks.
