About the event
Our first concert of the year invites you on a journey from radiant celebration to intimate lyricism.
Vivaldi’s much-loved Gloria brings energy, colour, and infectious joy, with brilliant choral writing and moments of lyrical warmth that make it one of the most popular works in the repertoire.
The music of Schubert draws us into a more intimate and poetic world. His Mass in G blends classical elegance with early Romantic warmth, while the Symphony No. 5 showcases his gift for song-like melody, gentle drama, and expressive depth.
Together, these works create a richly varied concert — uplifting, reflective, and full of contrast — celebrating choral and orchestral music at its most radiant and human.
