Come and Sing

Haydn’s Nelson Mass with Bristol Choral Society

Lantern Hall

Book Tickets

£28.50 Incl. booking fee

A composite image of a choir reading their song sheets, a person with short hair smiling and an illustration of Haydn Missa.

Join Bristol Choral Society for a day exploring Haydn’s Missa in angustiis (Mass for troubled times).

Commonly known as the Nelson Mass, it is arguably one of his greatest compositions. Written in 1798 when his world was in turmoil, it remains highly relevant today. Despite the foreboding the prevailing mood of the Nelson Mass is of jubilation, and this is bound to be a focus of our Musical Director Hilary Campbell.

After this workshop, BCS will be performing this in full with orchestra along with Mozart Requiem.

Tickets are available for Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass. Please select the appropriate voice part for you. If you are unsure, please select closest and you will be able to change on the day. 

Presented by Bristol Choral Society
