Cambridge University Symphony Chorus and the East Anglia Chamber Orchestra for an evening of two masterpieces of the Classical choral repertoire at West Road Concert Hall. Under the direction of the conductor, the programme opens with Mozart's Vesperae Solennes de Confessore (K.339), a setting of the Vespers liturgy that combines jubilant choruses, lyrical solo writing, and the soaring beauty of the celebrated fifth movement Laudate Dominum. After the interval, Haydn's powerful Nelson Mass brings the evening to a dramatic conclusion. Written at a time of political upheaval and later associated with Admiral Nelson's victories, the work is one of Haydn's most compelling sacred compositions, renowned for its striking orchestration, thrilling choruses, and moments of profound reflection.
