Soak up an evening of inspiring, reflective and uplifting vocal and instrumental music.

Weymouth Choral Society is to perform a Music of Majesty concert at  St Paul's Church, Abbotsbury Road, Weymouth on Saturday, March 25 at 7.30pm.

Mozart's Coronation Mass and a selection of choral and instrumental pieces with a royal flavour or English connection will be peformed.

With guests Simon Earl (organ), Winston Leese (trumpet) and four vocal soloists (Nicola Burley, Leah Page, Jonathan Valender & Gareth Jones) adding to the choral items with solo features, a royal banquet of music is performed.

Mozart’s Coronation Mass is one of his best-known choral works, full of contrast and lyrical themes. It earned its nickname most likely due to being performed during coronation festivities in Prague in 1791/2.

Complemented by a wide variety of styles of pieces that have been played at royal ceremonies, weddings and funerals, or have a quintessential English theme, you’ll hear from composers as diverse as Purcell and Handel through to Quilter, Finzi, Walton and Vaughan Williams.

The concert will begin at 7.30pm, conducted by the Society’s musical director, Helen Brind.

Tickets priced £12 (free for under 16s) are available from Weymouth Pavilion Theatre or by phoning 07929 519973.
