Description
The concert opens with Béla Bartók’s Violin Rhapsody No. 1, a striking piece performed by virtuoso Albert Kay, weaving intense folk-inspired melodies through the violin. The concert continues with Joseph Haydn’s Harmoniemesse, a majestic choral and orchestral work that showcases the talents of soprano Jasmine Flicker, mezzo-soprano Salome Siu, tenor JB (Jan Brian) Astom, and bass Masimba Ushe, accompanied by the Morley Chamber Orchestra and two choirs: the Meridian Choir, conducted by Benedict Collins-Rice, and the Morley Chamber Choir, led by Manvinder Singh Rattan. Under the baton of Charles Peebles, this evening promises a stirring fusion of Hungarian passion and choral brilliance.
