Commissioned by Prince Nikolaus Esterházy in 1807, the Mass in C is a mighty and yet humble work, described as bridging church and concert hall music together better than almost any other piece. Despite being one of Beethoven’s lesser-known works, the Mass in C is an unmistakably remarkable work combining spirituality and humanity. The concert will also feature Beethoven’s exhilarating, Choral Fantasy featuring Head of Piano, Anne Bolt, as soloist, and Form 6 music scholar, Jessica Carr, will be the featured soloist in Reinecke’s Ballade for solo flute and orchestra.
