Mount Kelly Choral Society Christmas Concert: Mozart Coronation Mass
Mozart's Coronation Mass, plus highlights from Handel's Messiah.
Divertimento Ensemble, with soloists Bianca Phillips (soprano); India Lord (alto); Harry Tabb (tenor); Marcus Coleridge (bass).
Director: Dan Robson
Scored for soloists and mixed choir with orchestra, the Coronation Mass in C is one of Mozart's most popular and enduring works. Written in 1779, and joyous and celebratory in nature, its nickname derives from its performances at the coronations of Leopold II and Francis I of Austria.
Handel's Messiah needs no introduction; it remains a traditional part of the choral Christmas repertoire.
