The orchestra of I Maestri begins its 16th season with a programme of Brahms, Sarasate and Schumann.  Music that reflects nature’s seasonal change from Summer to Autumn; nature turns from being fruitful and full of vitality to a more calm pace and state of resting. Soon it will be harvest and a time to enjoy nature’s bounty.

A return to nature is the theme for this evenings programme as the music carries a pastoral mood, sounds of the romantic idealisms of rustic beauty, with Gypsy Airs and Idyll’s of a time once before.
We will be joined by returning soloists Leora Cohen – Violin and Thomas Gregory – Cello

Mozart Mass in C Minor K427 @ All Hallows Church
Nov 11 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Works written for two very different occasions form the opening concert in Highgate Choral Society’s 2017-2018 season. Following the recovery from illness of his fiancée, Constanze Weber, Mozart promised to write a mass of thanksgiving. Although it was never completed the Mass in C minor was premièred, in its incomplete state, with Constanze as one of the soprano soloists, in Salzburg on 26th October 1783 and harks back to the Baroque world of Handel and Bach.
Originally commissioned by the Polish-born art collector Bronislaw Krystall to write a requiem commemorating his wife’s death, Karol Szymanowski decided to change the contract and instead composed what is considered to be his greatest masterpiece. The inspiration for his Stabat Mater was the tragic death of his niece, Alinka and the subsequent suffering of his pregnant sister, who was soon to lose another child. Completed in 1926, Stabat Mater is of fundamental importance in the history of Polish music after Chopin.
