This concert featured Joseph Haydn's 'Nelson Mass' and other vocal works
in conjunction with the T.O.P.S. orchestra.
Bringing a rich tapestry of music from the Classical period to audiences was the aim of Musical Director and conductor Robyn Ryan in Hastings Choristers' first major concert for 2009
This program was the perfect way to celebrate the wonderful music of Josef Haydn who died in Vienna 200 years ago on 31st May 1809. Our audiences delighted in a Trumpet Concerto performed by our own trumpeter extraordinaire, Jason Heise, a short Symphony and the extraordinary Nelson Mass - what a treat for lovers of fine music.
HAYDN TRUE was presented on Saturday 9th May at 8.00 pm and Sunday 10th May at 2.00 pm in the Port Macquarie Baptist Church. Doors opened three-quarters of an hour before concert time, and pre-concert talks before each performance whetted the audiences' appetites. Singing as a vocal quartet in preparation for the imminent HAYDN TRUE concerts on Mothers Day weekend was an exhilarating journey for some well known Hastings singers.
John Thompson, Nina Mestric, Miriam Lattimore, and Ian Castle got into gear to bring the swoon factor to Port Macquarie concert goers with their beautiful voices enhanced by our own local Cantorus choir and Sydney based TOPS orchestra, in Joseph Haydn's 'Missa in Angustiiscommonly known as the 'Nelson Mass'.
