Burney Weekend Concerts

To celebrate the Burney Bi-Centennial Shrewsbury School will be performing a repertoire associated with the period in which Charles Burney lived.

Born when JS Bach still had 23 years left to live and dying only 13 years before Beethoven himself, Burney bridges the Baroque and Classical periods and left us, through his diaries and writings, wonderful contemporary accounts of 18th century Europe.

The concerts will include works by Haydn, Bach & Mozart, including a complete performance of Mozart’s Mass in C, the Missa Longa, with soloists from the School singing with the Community and Chapel Choirs.
