English Symphony Orchestra
Academia Musica Choir
Conducted by Kenneth Woods
14 March, 2018 at 7:30 PM Malvern Priory
Sawyers- The Valley of Vision (world premiere)
Haydn- Missa in tempore belli (Mass in Time of War)
Beethoven- Symphony no. 3 “Eroica”
Two of the great musical manifestations of the Napoleonic Wars form the heart of this exciting concert- Haydn’s Mass, performed by the hugely acclaimed ESO and Academia Musica Choir, is a powerful plea for love and peace, while Beethoven’s Eroica is the greatest-ever musical manifesto in the cause of human liberty and freedom. The concert opens with a new tone poem by Philip Sawyers inspired by the paintings of Samuel Palmer, a work brimming with colour, melody and dram in the best Beethovenian spirit.
“a performance of great life and character which brought a real freshness to Beethoven’s Eroica…”
The Classical Reviewer
“This is the kind of music that gives one hope for the future of our art”
