Considered by Beethoven to be his greatest achievement, the Missa Solemnis has been chosen by the choir to mark the Beethoven 250 celebrations.
Beethoven wrestled with the Missa Solemnis for several years, and produced a work which is by turns solemn, heaven-storming, and turbulent, but also deeply contemplative. Beethoven wrote on his score "From the heart - may it go to the heart!" and successive generations can testify that his wish has succeeded.
The OBC - which will be performing the Mass for the first time in over two decades - will be joined by the brilliant London Mozart Players and a superb team of soloists Katherine Crompton (Soprano), Susanna Spicer (Contralto), Justin Lavender (Tenor) and Edward Grint (Bass) - putting them in a fantastic position to perform this Everest of choral works.
The piece is by turns serene, beautiful, grand and theatrical. This is an evening not to be missed!
