Heralding the start of our Mozart on Tour series, our opening concert begins in Paris. Embark on a journey through some of Mozart’s greatest works, traversing the composer’s output from the start of his career to his final unfinished masterpiece.
The concert opens with the exhilarating Overture to The Magic Flute and is followed by Symphony No. 31, known as the ‘Paris’ Symphony, a vibrant and exuberant work that captures the essence of this bustling city. These two works are directed by Sarah Brandwood-Spencer, who has toured the world as principal and soloist with the European Union Chamber Orchestra. She was formerly principal violinist of the Hallé Orchestra and now enjoys a varied career as guest principal with many of the country’s leading orchestras.
Manchester Chamber Choir conducted by Ellie Slorach then joins the NCO for the profoundly moving Requiem. Mozart died before completing the work and from the solemnity of its opening bars to the intensity of the ‘Dies Irae’ this masterpiece takes listeners through grief, hope and ultimately redemption.
Ellie Slorach makes a welcome return following her hugely successful performance last season of Vivaldi’s Gloria. This season she also returns to the RLPO, BBC Philharmonic, RSNO and Manchester Camerata.
