Crouch End Festival Chorus - Beethoven Missa Solemnis
Alexandra Palace, Theatre, N22 7AY , [Venue Details]Crouch End Festival Chorus will perform Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis at Alexandra Palace Theatre in April 2025.
It was in the latter part of Beethoven’s life, when his deafness was profound, that he composed his monumental Missa Solemnis.
The choral writing, with extremes of dynamics and speed, is amongst the most virtuosic in the entire choral repertoire, and it is only choirs of great power, flexibility and musicianship that can deliver it. With this Mass he achieved a new musical, dramatic and liturgical synthesis – an apotheosis comparable to that of his Ninth Symphony.
It is an enigmatic work, with an underlying programmatic structure that suggests ‘hovering guardian angels’ and contemporary invasions and battles – and it is for the performers to reveal this imagery and architecture.
With Crouch End Festival Chorus, The Hanover Band, four world-class soloists and David Temple, the stage is set for a brilliant illumination of this iconic work.
