The programme
The evening
Beethoven devoted four years to his monumental Missa solemnis. Passionate, majestic and intense, nothing he composed surpasses it for scale, sincerity or vision. A work Jeffrey Skidmore loves dearly, it will be a highlight of his final season – marking Beethoven’s bicentenary with music performed ‘from the heart that it may go to the heart’.
