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.

The Battle of the Ancre

The Battle of the Ancre was filmed between September and November 1916. In between battle sequences, audiences were shown the human side of war as the British “Tommies” queued up to receive their mail and consume their food rations and fraternization between German prisoners and their British captors.

Composer Laura Rossi’s new score for chamber orchestra is in 5 movements, which accompanies the five parts of the film. The music depicts the varied emotions conveyed throughout, reflecting the more poignant moments as well as echoing brighter scenes of the high-spirited soldiers.

The Camerata will perform the score alongside a screening of the film in a concert that will also contain the pastoralism of Elgar and the humanity of Bach. 

For the Bach the Orchestra is delighted to welcome the Lithuanian pianist Justa Servenikas.
