Benjamin Nicholas director

This concert evokes the musical drama and splendour with which Vespers was celebrates in late 18th-century Salzburg, where Mozart worked in the early part of his career. Mozart’s skills as an operatic composer are apparent in the dramatic treatment of the psalm texts of the Solemn Vespers de confessore, and even more so in the virtuosic solo motet Exsultate, Jubilate, sung here by award-winning soprano Rowan Pierce, which ends with the famous exuberant Alleluia.

This performance is part of the Divine Office Festival 2021. Full details, including booking information, can be found on the Martin Randall Travel website.
