An evening celebrating the musical genius of Mozart with a programme that shows off the different colours of his popular style. Mozart’s light and energetic Divertimento introduces our next work, the famous Clarinet Concerto performed by the RPO’s Principal Clarinet Katherine Lacy. This cheery and graceful work often appears in the top 10 of Classic FM’s Hall of Fame and is a true household favourite.
Mozart’s Requiem shows a different, darker side to his writing in this powerful yet poignant masterpiece sung by the Northampton Bach Choir.
FREE: Pre-concert talk at 6:30pm with BBC Northampton's John Griff and conductor Adrian Partington.
You can buy the CD or MP3 recording of Katherine Lacy plays Mozart here.
