Mendelssohn and Royalty - Part 1
The 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra and Singers perform Mendelssohn choral and orchestral music with royal connections, including The Hebrides and Mein Gott, warum hast Du mich verlassen.
Presented by Louise Fryer.
A concert exploring Mendelssohn's relationship to the heritage and some of the major figures of European royalty, in which the 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra and Singers perform choral and orchestral music.
The programme begins with the much-loved Hebrides Overture, composed in 1829 on a trip to Scotland, and which was dedicated to an important continental monarch - King Federick William IV of Prussia. It is followed by choral pieces which were a response to the heritage of German and congregational music.
