A musical mystery awaits at the Royal Albert Hall as Scotland’s premier baroque ensemble, the Dunedin Consort, led by John Butt, unveil the musical inspiration behind Mozart’s Great Mass in C minor, a colossus of the choral repertoire.

The revered work comprises the entire second half of the concert, while audiences are first treated to a series of shorter pieces by JS Bach and CPE Bach, two men who inspired Mozart in the creation of his mighty Mass. The Dunedin Consort is joined on stage by an all-star roster of vocal soloists comprising of Nardus Williams, Lucy Crowe, Jess Dandy, Benjamin Hulett and Robert Davies. Katie Derham presents with special guest Anna Lapwood.
