Southwell Music Festival: French Chamber Classics

Sunday, 27th August 2017 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Southwell Minster, Church Street
Southwell, Nottinghamshire NG25 0HD United Kingdom
+ Google Map

The remarkable conjunction of French compositional genius in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is celebrated in this programme. Debussy’s evocative Syrinx and a rare performance of Poulenc’s dramatic and entertaining Le bal masqué frame a programme of masterpieces – including Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite for four hands at one piano: the performance reunites the team of Burgess and Baillieu who brought us The Rite of Spring so memorably in 2015.

Southwell, NG25 0EH United Kingdom

Libby gives a pre-concert talk on Mozart’s Mass in C minor, one of the great unfinished pieces. Given the pressures he was under at the time perhaps this is not surprising – a famous public figure in celebrity-conscious Vienna with pressing domestic demands and constant financial insecurity. The lecture will explore these and other fascinating aspects of Mozart’s life and how they shaped his music.
