Programme Note
Lewisham Choral Society is delighted to welcome the Frisian Chamber Orchestra to join us in an evening of sparkling music making.
Our concert begins with Mozart’s lively Overture to The Magic Flute and continues with Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony - although never completed, this lyrical piece has become one of Schubert’s best-loved works.
The choir, orchestra and a superb line of soloists then join forces to perform Haydn’s dramatic Nelson Mass. This is Haydn’s 11th Mass setting and surely one of his finest, starting with a powerful Kyrie and ending with an exuberant final chorus, while the contrasting central movements include some beautiful solo sections and a spirited fugue.
In Lewisham's Borough of Culture year, please join us in welcoming our Frisian guests!
