“Behind every great man is a great woman” and this year’s first Festival Chorus focuses on the phenomenal Mass in C Minor that Mozart wrote for his wife, Constanze, as a wedding present… for her to sing! We also take a look at how other composers throughout history, like Delius, Weir and Duruflé, have been inspired by the delights of love and marriage. A celebration of humanity’s most splendid offering awaits – truly an event not to be missed!
