Magical Mozart – *Rescheduled for 2025*

Magical Mozart – *Rescheduled for 2025*

When: November 2024 | 7:30pm
Where: Elder Hall, University of Adelaide

Together with the outstanding soloists Emma Borgas, Emma Horwood, Kim Worley and BJ Moore and an instrumental ensemble from the Adelaide Concert Orchestra, Adelaide Philharmonia Chorus present some of Mozart’s greatest choral music: Mass in C minor, Vesperae solennes de confessore (Solemn Vespers) and the pretty Veni Sancte Spiritus. The musical director and conductor is Aldis Sils.

Mozart’s powerful Great Mass in C minor reveals Mozart at the height of his brilliance. This large-scale work, a missa solemnis, is scored for four soloists – two sopranos, a tenor and a bass – with a double chorus and orchestra. At Mozart’s death it remained unfinished, but it embodies the pomp and solemnity associated with the Salzburg traditions of the time.  It also anticipates the symphonic masses of Joseph Haydn.

Completed a few years earlier, Vesperae solennes de confessore (Solemn Vespers for a Confessor) was composed for liturgical use in the Salzburg Cathedral. The Laudate Dominum is its best-known movement, with a beautifully written solo for soprano accompanied by choir and ensemble.

 Veni Sancte Spiritus is a beautiful example of Mozart’s youthful skill, composed when he was just 12!
