Rare chance to hear Beethoven's Missa Solemnis in Sheffield

[RosyRat]

Sheffield Oratorio Chorus are performing Beethoven's Mass in D at the Cathedral on Saturday 27 March 2010 at 7:30 p.m. with the South Yorkshire Symphony Orchestra.

 

Soloists :

* Sally Harrison Soprano

* Juliette Pochin mezzo-soprano

* Michael Bracegirdle Tenor

* Paul Reeves bass

 

This is an extremely challenging work to perform, which is why this is a rare opportunity. It was last performed in Sheffield 14 years ago, by the Oratorio Chorus.

 

For those who don't know it, it's a glorious, rousing, emotional outpouring of the most superb music and singing. Not to be missed. It's wonderful and exhausting to sing and stunning to listen to.

 

It's not that long either, so we'll probably go straight through without the usual 20 minute interval, but 5 mins or so for those who need a quick break.
