Concert 8 pm, Sunday 22nd May, Adrian Boult Hall, Birmingham Conservatoire.

BFCS has many happy memories of concerts at the Adrian Boult Hall, and is delighted to be performing there one last time, as part of their ‘City of Sounds’ festival. We will be singing Mozart’s Coronation Mass and Ave Verum Corpus, with Queen’s Park Sinfonia and the Conservatoire vocal soloists from our March and July concerts.

BFCS looks forward to future concerts in the new Conservatoire concert hall after their move to the new Eastside campus.

Enjoy one of Handel’s finest works, the lively ‘Dixit Dominus’, written in the Italian style when he was just 22 years old. Handel’s Chandos Anthem no 9, written in England 10 years later, features an operatic sense of drama in a smaller scale work, ‘O Praise the Lord with one consent’.

Our string orchestra will play the Sinfonia in B flat by another well known musician of the London Baroque period: William Boyce, Master of the Kings Musick and organist at the Chapel Royal. Finally, the choir will sing the beautiful setting of the Salvator Mundi by John Blow, Purcell’s teacher and predecessor at Westminster Abbey.
