Join us for a thrilling day singing Haydn's powerful 'Nelson' Mass, led and conducted by Ben England, finishing with a joyful full concert.


About this Event


Join us for an unforgettable day of music-making as we rehearse and perform Joseph Haydn’s magnificent "Nelson" Mass under the inspiring direction of renowned conductor Ben England. Whether you are a seasoned choral singer or just starting out, this event promises to be a joyful and enriching experience for all.

Experience the exhilarating power of Haydn’s "Nelson" Mass, a vibrant and triumphant choral work composed in 1798. Officially titled Missa in Angustiis (Mass for Troubled Times), the piece earned its popular nickname after Admiral Nelson’s victory at the Battle of the Nile, which coincided with its early performances. The music is grand, dramatic, and full of energy, perfectly capturing the spirit of celebration and hope.


What You Can Expect:

1. Preparation Before the Event: As soon as you book your ticket, the musical journey begins! You’ll receive a comprehensive digital resource pack to help you prepare at your own pace. The pack includes:

  • A digital score of the full "Nelson" Mass
  • Line-by-line recorded teaching sessions for each voice part
  • Learning tracks with your voice part louder than the rest of the choir, sung by professional singers

These resources are designed to support singers of all levels, whether you're learning the piece from scratch or brushing up on it.

2. A Day of Singing and Learning: On the day, Ben England will guide us through workshops that break down the music, offering expert tips on vocal technique and interpretation. You’ll be accompanied in these sessions by concert pianist Dr Ana England, and together we’ll work through key sections of the Mass, while enjoying the chance to improve your skills in a supportive, friendly environment. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet and connect with fellow singers throughout the day.

3. Afternoon Concert Performance: Following a day of rehearsals, we’ll come together for a thrilling performance of the "Nelson" Mass, accompanied by soloists and concert pianist Dr Ana England. This informal concert will be open to family and friends free of charge, allowing them to share in the result of our hard work and dedication.

  • Be part of a powerful, collective performance of one of Haydn's greatest choral works.
  • Receive world-class musical direction from Ben England.
  • Access high-quality learning materials to ensure you’re fully prepared and confident on the day.
