About This Event

鈥楴o other English composer offers more beauty in sound,鈥� Thomas Beecham said of Delius. There鈥檚 no more extravagant, impassioned or overwhelming a canvas for that beauty than A Mass of Life. Taking Nietzsche鈥檚 rapturous prose-poem Also sprach Zarathustra as a starting point, Delius imagined a secular Mass 鈥� a cantata for orchestra, chorus and soloists celebrating the transcendent power and triumph of the human spirit in the face of death. Sir Mark Elder conducts the 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Orchestra, with soloists including baritone Roderick Williams and tenor David Butt Philip.
