Beethoven's Seventh

Beethoven's Seventh Symphony is a work that captures the zeitgeist like few others. Premiered at a concert to raise funds to help those wounded at the Battle of Hanau, Beethoven himself said he was motivated 'by nothing but pure patriotism and the joyful sacrifice of our powers for those who have sacrificed so much for us'.

Paired here with Haydn's Military Symphony, a full performance of Beethoven's Seventh follows a dramatisation of the story and events behind Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony using diaries, letters and contemporary accounts of the time illustrated with live musical extracts.

Captured Memories

Skipton Building Society Camerata and Saltaire Art Trail come together to present a concert inspired by the humble postcard and the ways in which travel and new experiences manifest themselves in works of art.

Mozart’s Divertimento in D was composed soon after one of 16 year-old Mozart’s many European tours. It shows all the traits of the fashionable and contemporaneous Italian style that Mozart experienced on his travels.

Bach’s Ich Habe Genug is a work of exquisite beauty and depth which brings together the German sacred music tradition, in which Bach was so well versed, with the secular operatic traditions of the day.

Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence is a musical postcard which Tchaikovsky composed whilst on holiday in the Italian city in the summer of 1890.

Handel's Messiah

A perennial favourite and the traditional start to Christmas, Handel’s Messiah is as popular now as it was over two and a half centuries ago, from the heartfelt simplicity of ‘I know that my Redeemer liveth’ to the grandeur of the ‘Hallelujah’ chorus. Those who have attended a Camerata Messiah in previous years will attest to the quality and energy of their performances.

Joining Ben Crick and Skipton Camerata are four nationally established soloists and the ever-versatile Clothworkers Consort of Leeds.

6.15pm Pre-concert talk by Dr Bryan White
As part of our New Angles programme ticket holders can attend a free pre-concert talk by baroque music expert Dr Bryan White explaining Handel's relationship with London's Foundling Hospital and how it shaped his Messiah.
