Mozart's Requiem

Schubert and Mozart

Skipton Camerata and their conductor Ben Crick perform two classical symphonies: Schubert’s youthful Fifth Symphony and the masterly ‘Prague’ Symphony by Mozart. The Orchestra is also delighted to welcome Maya Meron who, following performances with Sir Simon Rattle at the Berlin Philharmonic and Daniel Barenboim at the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, will join regular leader Sebastian Mueller as the two soloists in Mozart's exquisite Sinfonia Concertante.

St Matthew Passion

Ben Crick and a formidable line up of professional singers and instrumentalists delivers what we believe is the first ever performance in Skipton of Johann Sebastian Bach's St Matthew Passion.

Considered by many to be the greatest of all choral masterpieces, Bach’s St Matthew Passion combines drama with devotion like no other, and contains some of the most beautiful and exquisitely crafted music ever written.
