Music on the Hill opens its 2017 concert season with a Festival Chorus performance of two jewels of the Classical era: the Mozart Missa brevis in F and Haydn’s “Little Organ Mass.” Artistic director David H. Connell conducts.
The chorus, with violin and cello, will be joined by featured artist Ellen Dickinson, organist, playing the extended organ solo that gives the Haydn Missa brevis its popular name.
The musical selections share the qualities esteemed by the Age of Reason that produced them — clarity, rationality, and calm — and find their perfect complement in the concert space, with its understated elegance and vibrant acoustics.
