For this concert, the University of Plymouth Choral Society and Sinfonia have chosen three contrasting works of Mozart, and a favourite Bruckner motet.
Mozart’s delightful string serenade Eine Kleine Nacht Musik precedes his setting of Ave Verum Corpus – a motet that portrays redemptive meaning of suffering. Bruckner paid homage to this work in his own Locus Iste. Mozart’s Requiem – in the portentous key of D minor – is haunting and powerful.
The programme is led by Musical Director Alice Dennis, BEM.
Programme: Mozart - Requiem Bruckner - Locus Iste Mozart - Eine...

Imperfect Orchestra (IO) presents Metamorphosis, a short film exploring transformations through experimentation and abstraction in this contemporary reimagining of Franz Kafka's 1915 novella. IO's first foray into self-production of moving image uses the prism of 21st-century life and its many distortions to explore our cultural and societal values.
Continuing the use of live soundtrack, but with the inclusion of experimental live sound design, the film considers how these very values have transformed over time, and how they exert an almost farcical pressure upon all of...
Arresting, untraditional Shakespeare with powerful performances, striking design and sensory surprises! We have stripped back action and character to zoom in on the dynamics of the killer couple, tracking their murderous ambitions, escalating anxieties and disintegrating bonds against a backdrop of sensual pleasure and normalised violence. Expect a boisterous, playful Macbeth with ribald humour and a muscular undertow of menace. This production is ideal for anyone interested in both the play itself and in contemporary performance techniques.
