Described by his biographer as ‘arguably his greatest single composition’, Haydn’s Nelson Mass was nicknamed the “Mass for Troubled Times”. Scored for strings, organ, trumpets and timpani, and written at a time of intense fear for the future of Austria, the result was a fiery and dramatic triumph over adversity, first performed on the day Nelson defeated Napoleon at the Battle of the Nile.

Also on the programme, Mozart's much-loved Serenade and his delightful Vespers, a highlight of which is the wonderful soprano solo Laudate Dominum.

‘The Sixteen are brilliant at lifting us up to another world.’ (The Telegraph)

‘Christophers is probably the best-known choral director in the world. For 40 years, his professional vocal ensemble, The Sixteen, has set the gold standard.’ (The Times)
