SUMMARY:Mozart by Candlelight
DESCRIPTION:Book now\nBethany Crouch clarinet\nFitzhardinge Consort\nBristol Ensemble  \nMozart’s infamous Requiem in D minor is a masterpiece shrouded in mystery\, making it all the more fascinating\, compelling and emotionally stirring. The story of the creation of the work involves a shady commission and a blanket of deceit. \nIt all began in July 1791\, when a stranger turned up at Mozart’s door with a commission to write a requiem. Mozart accepted and obsessively threw himself into the piece and worked on almost nothing else for several months. However\, by this time\, his health was deteriorating and he was unable to finish what he started. Mozart wasn’t sound of mind when he received the commission and believed he’d been cursed to write the piece as a swansong because he knew he would shortly die. Was he writing his own Requiem? \nExperience this extraordinary work in the majestic setting of a candlelit Bristol Cathedral\, with over 400 candles recreating the original performance in Vienna 230 years ago on January 2\, 1793. \nTo complete this all Mozart programme\, rising star Bethany Crouch joins the Bristol Ensemble in a performance of the much loved Clarinet Concerto.

SUMMARY:Tea-Time Concert
DESCRIPTION:Book now\nBeethoven Septet Op.20 \nWritten in 1799 and premiered in 1800\, Beethoven’s Septet in E flat major enjoyed immediate and enduring success due to its youthful charm\, elegance and grace\, thematic richness and imaginative and skilful treatment of its motifs. Ingeniously scored for violin\, viola\, cello\, double bass\, clarinet\, horn and bassoon\, Beethoven is able to use the forces in a range of ever-changing instrumental textures and colour combinations\, with bassoon and cello freed from the traditional bass part by the presence of the double bass. The Septet’s six movements follow a traditional classical symphony structure with the addition of a Theme and Variations and a lively Scherzo. \nTea and home made cakes served at 4pm. \nTickets £15 (£13 for those on low incomes)\, available online from Eventbrite or on the door. Under 18s free of charge.
