SUMMARY:MENDELSSOHN Elijah

SUMMARY:Sing Vivaldi’s Gloria & Haydn's Te Deum with Sheffield's foremost symphonic choir
DESCRIPTION:Following the success of our first two Come and Sing events in Upper Chapel\, we return to this wonderful venue to host another. Visitors are invited to join us in a day’s workshop featuring Vivaldi’s marvellous Gloria and Haydn’s equally wonderful Te Deum. \nThe  workshop will be led by our fantastic Musical Director Darius Battiwalla. Darius has conducted choral performances with leading orchestras including the Halle\, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and Manchester Camerata\, and he has prepared the Chorus for appearances at the Proms and for recordings with the BBC Philharmonic for Chandos. He has worked regularly as guest chorusmaster or conductor with many other choirs including the Northern Sinfonia Chorus\, Leeds Philharmonic Chorus\, Huddersfield Choral Society\, CBSO chorus and Netherlands Radio Choir.  Darius is Leeds City Organist and has appeared as organ soloist with the Halle\, London Philharmonic Orchestras and the BBC Philharmonic\, and he gives regular chamber concerts with members of the Manchester orchestras on piano and harpsichord. Despite this impressive record he is a very friendly conductor\, encouragingly supportive and challenging in equal measure – qualities that were much in evidence in both previous events. \n\nThe day will begin at 10.30 with registration from 10am\, with the morning session running to 12.30 including a break for tea or coffee and cake (included in the admission price).\nWe re-commence at 2pm\, giving time for participants to have lunch in one of the many varied eateries  in the city centre.\nThe afternoon session will run until 4.30pm\, with another generous break for tea in town.\nThe FREE performance for family and friends is at 6pm.\n\nScores will be provided for those who don’t have their own. NB. There won’t much note-bashing\, so prior knowledge of the pieces or a reasonable ability to read music will help participants make the most of the day. \nInformation about joining the Chorus will be available on the day; see https://sheffieldphil.org/membership-join/new-members/ \nTickets for visiting singers are available online costing £25 including score hire and refreshments.

SUMMARY:BACH – MASS IN B MINOR
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 14 March 2026 at 19.30\nSt Mark’s Broomhill\nSince its completion in 1749\, the B Minor Mass has been celebrated as one of the pinnacles of Western music\, whose significance has only grown with time. Musicians and scholars through the ages have marvelled at its complexity\, beauty\, and spiritual depth. It may be that he thought of it as a final legacy\, a statement both of his faith and of his mastery of composition.  In short\, a must for lovers of baroque and choral music\, and of course\, of J.S Bach. \nThe Sheffield Bach Choir has performed this magnificent work every three years for over fifty years and over twenty with the wonderful National Festival Orchestra and choir and orchestra are well matched masters of the work. Conducted by Phillip Collin and with four marvellous soloists\, this is a concert not to be missed! \n\nSheffield Bach Choir\nNational Festival Orchestra\nZoë Brookshaw – Soprano\nKate Symonds-Joy – Alto\nJoseph Banerjee – Tenor\nWilliam Burn – Bass\nPhilip Collin – conductor\n\nTickets are available online\, (booking fee payable) or you can pay on the door (card or cash). Adults £18\, concessions £16\, students £8 (Student Card required on entry)\, accompanied children free.

SUMMARY:ARVO PÄRT Adam’s Lament\, MOZART Symphony No. 40
DESCRIPTION:Manchester Camerata and conductor Tom Fetherstonhaugh\, described by BBC Radio 3 as “a spark to watch”\, guide us on an immersive journey through various sonic landscapes. Hannah Roberts\, acclaimed Principal Cellist\, will open the programme with the breathtaking Prelude from Bach’s spell-binding Cello Suite. \nFrom one solitary performer\, the sound world shifts as the combined forces of orchestra and chorus come together for a rare opportunity to hear Arvo Pärt’s Adam’s Lament\, a work of deep contemplation. \nProfoundly affected by the death of Benjamin Britten in 1976\, the respect and admiration Pärt felt towards the composer can be heard in the ethereal beauty of his elegiac orchestral piece\, Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten. Mozart’s timeless Symphony No.40\, with its passion and urgency\, will ignite the orchestra for an electrifying and energetic conclusion. \n\nManchester Camerata\nSheffield Philharmonic Chorus\nTom Fetherstonhaugh – conductor\nHannah Roberts – cello\n\nJ. S. BACH Cello Suite No.5: Prelude\nARVO PÄRT Adam’s Lament \nARVO PÄRT Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten\nMOZART Symphony No.40 \nTickets from £22.50\, under-16s £9 – available online and in person from the City Hall box office.

SUMMARY:Britten ST NICHOLAS and Fauré REQUIEM
DESCRIPTION:Our season begins with Benjamin Britten’s wonderful oratorio Saint Nicolas paired with Gabriel Faure’s beautiful Requiem. Britten’s piece\, completed in 1948 using a text by Eric Crozier\, enhances the drama of the legends and stories relating to the saint’s life\,  using striking contrasts in instrumentation\, vocal style\, and musical textures. \n\nFaure composed his Requiem between 1887 and 1890\, and wrote of the work\, “Everything I managed to entertain by way of religious illusion I put into my Requiem\, which moreover is dominated from beginning to end by a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest.” \n\nSheffield Bach Choir\nPeter Wilman – tenor\nChoristers from St John’s Church Ranmoor\nPhilip Collin – conductor\n\nTickets are available online (booking fee payable) or you can pay on the door (card or cash).
