Schubert Mass in A flat

Following our highly successful ‘Great Choral Classics’ concert n May, our autumn concert features Schubert’s Mass in A flat, which is possibly his most songful and inventive. It was regarded by Schubert himself as the finest of his six Latin Mass settings, and shows his genius for melody. Bizet’s Te Deum is rarely performed, but is a joyously uplifting piece, full of varied & tuneful music.

Bexhill Choral Society, under the baton of conductor Kenneth Roberts, is joined by soloists - soprano Louisa Alice-Rose, mezzo Judith Buckle, tenor Stephen Brown, and baritone Peter Grevatt who will additionally be singing Poulenc’s delightful song-cycle Chansons Villageoises. The programme is accompanied by the Sussex Concert Orchestra, who will also perform Ravel’s beautiful and well-known "Pavane pour une infante défunte."
