Viva Vienna! is the name of the Headington Singers’  next concert on Friday 31 March when they celebrate three composers with links to the city – Mozart, Schubert and Bruckner.

Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus is a much-loved choral masterpiece in miniature and is followed by the sublime Clarinet concerto. This will be played by David Mears who is a real talent in the making. Though still a student, David recently made his debut at the Wigmore Hall where his playing was described as ‘superb’.

Schubert’s Mass in A flat major is both tuneful and dramatic and is seen as one his “finest and most substantial settings of the mass”. The soloists will be Rebecca Van Den Berg (soprano), Stephanie Windsor-Lewis (alto), Jonathan Todd (tenor) and Will Orr (bass).

Bruckner is represented by three of his celebrated Motets – Locus iste, Christus factus est and Ecce Sacerdos.  These are hauntingly beautiful sacred pieces for choir.

The choir will be accompanied by the Headington Singers Orchestra.

 

The concert is at All Saints Church, Lime Walk at 7.30pm as usual and tickets can be bought on the door (£12, £10 concessions, children free).
