SUMMARY:Henleaze Concert Society: From Grace to Grandeur
DESCRIPTION:Mozart Divertimento in D\nStamitz Concerto for Flute\, Oboe and Strings in G major\nSchubert Octet \nThis refined and radiant programme brings together three masters of the Classical and early Romantic eras\, offering a journey from sparkling elegance to expansive lyricism. \nMozart’s Divertimento in D opens the concert with charm and vitality. Written for strings\, this bright and buoyant work captures the composer’s signature wit and grace. Originally intended as light entertainment\, it’s filled with poised melodies\, graceful dance movements\, and the effortless brilliance of Mozart at his most genial. \nWe continue with Carl Stamitz’s Concerto for Flute\, Oboe\, and Strings in G major—a graceful and spirited dialogue between two soloists. As a leading figure of the Mannheim School\, Stamitz brings clarity\, elegance\, and a touch of operatic flair to this delightful concerto\, blending Classical poise with expressive nuance. \nThe programme concludes with Schubert’s magnificent Octet\, a monumental work for eight players that bridges the intimacy of chamber music with symphonic ambition. Rich in melody and emotional range\, it flows through moments of lyrical beauty\, lively rustic dances\, and deep reflection—an expansive and deeply human musical conversation. \nPre-concert talk with Steve Clarke begins at 6.45pm. Doors open at 6.15pm for the talk and at 7.15pm for the concert only. If coming to the concert only\, we should be grateful if you would try to avoid arriving during the talk. \nIndividual concert prices \nTickets for Henleaze Concert Society members £17.50\nTickets for non members £21\nUnder 25 year olds £5 \nThe ticket price includes the pre concert talk\, a programme and interval drink. \nHow to book \nBook tickets online at Bristol Ensemble’s online box office. \nYou can also book by sending a cheque payable to Henleaze Concert Society\, covering note and SAE to 2 Saville Mews\, Kingsdown Parade\, Bristol BS6 5UL \nTickets are available on the door from 6.15pm. \nSeason Tickets and Annual Society Membership \nSeason tickets are only £100 including Society Membership and admission to all six concerts from September to July.

SUMMARY:Bath Choral Society: Dido and Aeneas
DESCRIPTION:Purcell Dido and Aeneas\nHandel Dixit Dominus \nBath Choral Society\nBristol Ensemble\nStephanie Bodsworth and Rebecca Bottone sopranos\nOlivia Ray alto\nEamonn Mulhall tenor\nPhilip Smith bass\nKatrine Reimers conductor \nWas ever a tragic love story more poignantly told? \nDido and Aeneas\, the seventeenth-century gem depicting the abandonment of the Queen of Carthage\, is a serious contender for the greatest English opera of all time. Purcell’s take on the story from Virgil’s Aeneid involves the chorus at every stage of the action. Underpinned with a powerful immediacy and simplicity\, it has long had a broad appeal. The work’s emotional climax\, “When I am laid in earth”\, is as devastating as it is exquisite. \nThis concert performance is paired with another great masterpiece from the Baroque – Handel’s Dixit Dominus. Handel\, ever a master of drama\, brings to this choral Psalm setting a range of colours so broad that it might even take fans of his Messiah by surprise.
