“From the heart, may it go to the heart” was Beethoven’s inscription on the score of this monumental spiritual masterpiece.

We’re lucky to be joined by Rachel Nicholls, who is now widely recognised as one of the most exciting and dramatic sopranos of her generation, performing alongside some of Britain’s other leading young soloists, Katie Bray, Elgan Llýr Thomas and William Thomas.

The Festival Chorus continues to thrive under the preparation and direction of Tom Primrose who conducts tonight’s performance with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
