“… the waves of sound produced by the Hallé Choir instilled a sense of uplift that can only be produced by an exceptional chorus at the peak of its form”. The Guardian

Step into a world of musical masterpieces as Matthew Hamilton leads the combined forces of the Hallé orchestra and Choir in an evening of choral and orchestral brilliance.

Feel the power of Handel’s Zadok the Priest, the soaring melodies of Parry’s I Was Glad, the drama of Mozart’s Magic Flute Overture and the sweeping intensity of Verdi’s Force of Destiny Overture.

Regent Hall

The Academy Wind Ensemble presents a programme of music ranging from the 17th to 21st century. The music Henry Purcell wrote for the funeral of Mary II in 1695 is some of his most moving. Judith Bingham’s Bright Spirit, from 2001, is similarly inspired, written in memorial to pioneering doctor William Reynish. A 2012 work from the Academy’s own Head of Composition, Philip Cashian, leads into Tippett’s Triumph. This work for concert band takes as its inspiration the composer’s humanist oratorio from the early 1980s, The Mask of Time.

The Ross Trio have been playing chamber music together for almost their whole musical lives and are delighted to collaborate in this concert with another dear childhood friend, soprano Felicity Davies. Something magical happens when a singer performs with a handful of instrumentalists. They will explore the interplay of music, dance and poetry spanning three centuries, from the romance of Clara Schumann to the equally enchanting sounds of the 21st century, including a world premiere performance of a setting of a Mary Oliver poem for reed trio and voice, written specially for these musicians.

JS Bach’s monumental Fantasia and Fugue in C minor frames a contemplative landscape that includes Parry’s deeply moving Chorale Fantasia, Bach’s timeless O Mensch, the narrative reflections of Judith Bingham’s Emmaus-inspired pieces, and Tournemire’s soaring improvisation on Victimae Paschali laudes.
