Bristol's accomplished chamber choir with its newly-formed vibrant chamber orchestra of outstanding musicians perform Mozart's 'Great' Mass in C Minor, packed with virtuosic solo and choral writing.
Two choral symphonies by American composers complete the programme. Morten Lauridsen's Midwinter Songs is a five movement work of soaring lyricism setting deeply moving words by Robert Graves. Fern Hill, by the 20th century composer John Corigliano, sets the words of Dylan Thomas. The music is distinctively American, tuneful and romantic, full of colour and expression.
