Herschel Symphony 8
Bach Christ lag in todesbanden
Mozart Symphony 40
William Herschel’s Symphony No. 8 opens with warmth and perspective. Herschel, also a pioneering astronomer, brings a sense of order, curiosity and wonder to his music, suggesting sanctuary can be found by looking outward to new horizons as well as within.
In Bach’s Christ lag in Todesbanden, sanctuary takes on a spiritual form, facing suffering and mortality with calm assurance. Mozart’s Symphony No. 40, possibly his most celebrated work, turns inward, restless and searching, yet offering moments of tenderness and shared emotion. Across the programme, sanctuary emerges through wonder, faith and reflection, all conveyed in music of sublime beauty.
Duration:
TBC
Important Information:
The performance will start promptly at 14.30. Latecomers may be refused entry until the interval.
