Young Mendelssohn and MozartSunday 12 March, 3:00pm School of Music Project Choir with Leeds Baroque Choir and OrchestraDirected by Clive McClelland and Peter Holman

Leeds Baroque ventures into the nineteenth century to explore some of the remarkable choral works Mendelssohn wrote at the height of his youthful enthusiasm for J.S. Bach. They perform three chorale cantatas displaying his mastery of the Bach style but with occasional intriguing glimpses of a more modern musical world, followed by two settings of the Latin hymns Salve Regina and the Ave Maria.

After the interval, the School of Music Project Choir will join the orchestra for a performance of Mozart’s Requiem, completed by Duncan Druce. It remains faithful to Mozart's original yet tastefully expands on ideas that he left unfinished. The 'Amen' setting at the end of the 'Lacrymosa' is a particularly striking example of a large-scale eighteenth-century academic fugue realisation. With period instruments including basset horns and trombones, this promises to be a thrilling rendition.

Tickets: £18£16 (advance saver - available until 25 February) Free - Students and under 16s


Band ProjectWednesday 15 March, 7:00pm The band ensemble project returns for a fifth year, again under the mentorship of Hayden Minett. The programme features short sets by six bands working in a variety of styles and genres, who will showcase their performing and creative abilities through a selection of instrumental and vocal covers, arrangements and original compositions at this exciting event.
