Haydn                    Insanae et variae curae

Dvorak                   Symphony No.5

Bruch                     Kol Nidrei  (Anna Hunt cello)

Schubert                Mass in G Major

The Conductor is James Ross.

The Society is delighted to have its lead Cellist, Anna Hunt playing the Bruch Kol Nidrei which is subtitled Adagio on Hebrew Melodies for Violoncello and Orchestra. 

The Haydn motet, Insanae et variae cururae (meaning Insane and stupid worries flood our mind), is in two contrasting sections, the first one fearful and the second lyrical.  The Dvo?ak Symphony written in 1875 is regarded as largely pastoral. The Schubert Mass in G Major, composed in 1815 remains the best known of Schubert's three short settings or missae breves.
