Mozart’s “Great Mass” in C minor, K. 427 and
Schubert’s Mass in A flat major, D. 678

Mozart’s monumental “Great Mass” in C minor (1783) is a dazzling fusion of styles, drawing on the Baroque brilliance of Bach and Handel, and the dramatic flair of Italian opera. Soaring solo arias, powerful choruses, intricate fugues, and richly textured orchestration create a work that is at once joyful and profoundly spiritual.

Schubert’s Mass in A-flat major (1822) offers a contrasting but equally compelling vision. Deeply poetic and emotionally charged, it weaves soloists and choir into a glowing tapestry of sound. Its bold harmonies and expressive melodies draw us into a world of beauty and spiritual intensity.

Performed by choir, orchestra, and four exceptional soloists, this concert brings together two great Mass settings by composers whose lives were cut tragically short – but who nevertheless made an indelible mark on classical music.

More than two centuries later these transcendent works continue to feel fresh, uplifting, and deeply moving.
