Leonard Bernstein Mass (Concert Selections)

Our new season begins with three UK premieres of works by 20th century American composers.

None of these works approach the Mass in a conventional way, some use very different texts, all address issues of urgent relevance for our time: racial justice, peace and reconciliation, and our relationship with the Earth.

Please note that entrance to King's High School, and access to the new School Hall, is from Banbury Road, NOT Myton Road. Please please click here for directions. The School Hall is in the complex of new buildings on the far side of the playing fields, and there is plenty of parking.

We invite you to join us for a free pre-concert talk 'The Composer Speaks : Libby Larsen' on Zoom, on Friday November 4th at 7pm. The talk is open to members, ticket holders and anyone interested in environmental concerns. Please please click here to contact us to request the Zoom link. **This talk has unfortunately had to be postponed, due to circumstances beyond our control - please 'watch this space' for announcement of a new date.**
