The Alban Arena St Albans

A masterpiece and a striking rarity, jointly performed with SACC's friends from St Albans's twin town, the Wormser Kantorei.

April brings another visit from the Wormser Kantorei, our colleagues and friends from the German city of Worms am Rhein. Their conductor, Stefan Merkelbach, will direct the combined choirs in the little known but beautiful Miserere by ETA Hoffmann, as accomplished a composer as he was a poet. David Hansell will take over for Mozart's magnificent Requiem, left unfinished by the composer but here completed by the distinguished scholar and composer Duncan Druce. His skilful reconstructions from Mozart's sketches have created an imposing structure, surely more in line with the composer's thoughts than the rather perfunctory realisations often heard.

	Mozart: REQUIEM ETA Hoffmann: MISERERE
	Jenny Hansell (soprano) Frances Coad (alto) Julian Stocker (tenor) Martin Robson (bass) The Amadeus Chamber Orchestra
	St Albans Chamber Choir Wormser Kantorei David Hansell & Stefan Merkelbach (conductors)
