Xavier College Chapel, Barkers Road, Kew
Subscription Concert 4
Four diverse composers are here thrown together by the accident of their dates of birth or death. 2009 commemorates the 400th anniversary of Croce’s death, the 350th anniversary of Purcell’s birth, the 200th anniversary of Haydn’s death, and the 200th anniversary of Mendelssohn’s birth. The result is a program spanning some two and a half centuries, giving us tastes of the Late Renaissance, High Baroque, Classical and Romantic eras.
