Medici Choir – DEATH and MOZART – 7.30pm
DEATH and MOZART
The composer's last year in words and music
Medici Choir
Brandenburg Sinfonia
Conductor David Gostick
Soloist Luci Briginshaw
At the beginning of 1791 Mozart’s creative energy is undimmed and he is manically composing – debts are mounting and his wife’s medical bills need to be paid. So when Death turns up to claim him, it’s no surprise that Mozart is too busy. A temporary reprieve only gives him more time to compose. And these new works seem to hint that he’d quite like to be the exception to the universal rule… Death, however, has other ideas.
This wrangling dialogue between Death and Mozart, freely adapting Mozart’s own letters, is interwoven with the exquisite choral music of what turns out to be Mozart’s last year: The Magic Flute, Clemenza di Tito and his uncompleted Requiem.
Upcoming Events
Duruflé Requiem – Twickenham Choral – 7pm
Join Twickenham Choral for a moving performance of Maurice Duruflé's Requiem in the beautiful surroundings of Holy Trinity Sloane Square. Composed in 1947, this deeply spiritual work blends Gregorian chant with rich harmonies to create an atmosphere of serenity and hope. Unlike more dramatic settings of the Requiem Mass, Duruflé's version offers a message of peace and consolation.
The concert also includes a performance of Rob Fenton's Ave Verum and music from cellist Oliver Simpson.
Twickenham Choral is conducted by Howard Ionascu. The choir will be joined by acclaimed soloists Cathy Bell mezzo soprano and Alexander Hopkins baritone, and accompanied by organist Andrew Lumsden.
Interstellar Plus – Roger Sayer – 7pm
Interstellar Organist Roger Sayer returns to Holy Trinity to play the original Hans Zimmer soundtrack, as well as music from other Sci-Fi films.
