Join the Oakham Choral Society and Orchestra in the Chapel for a concert celebrating 250 years since the birth of the great German composer, Ludwig van Beethoven. Commissioned by Prince Nikolaus Esterházy in 1807, the Mass in C is a mighty and yet humble work, described as bridging church and concert hall music together better than almost any other piece. Despite being one of Beethoven's lesser-known works, the Mass in C is an unmistakably remarkable work combining spirituality and humanity.

The concert will also feature Beethoven's exhilarating, Choral Fantasy featuring Head of Piano, Anne Bolt, as soloist, and Form 6 music scholar, Jessica Carr, will be the featured soloist in Reinecke's Ballade for solo flute and orchestra.
