In Salieri's anniversary year 2025, the Chapel Imperial honours its former director with various performances; this Sunday, we will perform the so-called ‘Hofkapellmeistermesse’ (Court Kapellmeister Mass), the Mass in D. Jordi Casals conducts.

The Mass in D major was probably composed in 1788 for the Chapel Imperial on the occasion of Emperor Joseph II's return from the Turkish Wars. Salieri had just been made court kapellmeister.

Oh this Saturday, we will be joining forces with the Dresden Philharmonic's Children's Chorus to sing for the Child Protection organisation, die möwe (named after Jonathan Livingstone Seagull). They do great work! Admission is free; we are hoping for generous donations.

Register here (NB: you can also turn up on the day).
