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.

- February 'Come and Sing' (Chorus, Orchestra)
-
Date Posted: Sat, 4 Jan 2025
On 1 February 2025 the Haslemere Musical Society will be holding another of its popular 'Come and Sing' sessions. If you have been thinking of joining a choir - maybe as part of a new year's resolution? - then this is your opportunity to come and try it out.
We will be working through and then doing an informal performance-style run through of one of the great choral pieces - Mozart's Requiem.
The piece will be accompanied by the Haslemere Musical Society's orchestra under the expert baton of Tom Lydon.
This is a great opportunity to try singing with a choir out. Maybe you sang in a choir in your youth and want to rekindle your passion for music? Maybe you've always enjoyed singing and wanted to try out singing in a choir.
Spaces are only £20 for the day. If you are interested then please email Charlotte Fentem on comeandsing@hmsoc.org.uk.
