Beethoven Missa Solemnis
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’.
Running time approx. 1 hour, 45 minutes including interval.

Jeffrey says
"Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis is the most profound, emotional cry for peace and the perfect celebration for the bicentenary of his death in March 1827. Considered by Beethoven himself as his greatest work, the score is headed with the famous inscription: ‘From the heart may it go again to the heart’."
