Heralding the start of the Northen Chamber Orchestra's Mozart on Tour series, the opening concert begins in Paris. Embark on a journey through some of Mozart’s greatest works, traversing the composer’s output from the start of his career to his final unfinished masterpiece.

The concert opens with the exhilarating Overture to The Magic Flute and is followed by Symphony No. 31, known as the ‘Paris’ Symphony, a vibrant and exuberant work that captures the essence of this bustling city. These two works are directed by the NCO's new Associate Director Sarah Brandwood-Spencer, who has toured the world as principal and soloist with the European Union Chamber Orchestra. She was formerly principal violinist of the Hallé Orchestra and now enjoys a varied career as guest principal with many of the country’s leading orchestras.

Manchester Chamber Choir conducted by Ellie Slorach then joins the NCO for the profoundly moving Requiem. Mozart died before completing the work and from the solemnity of its opening bars to the intensity of the ‘Dies Irae’ this masterpiece takes listeners through grief, hope and ultimately redemption.

We are delighted to be working with Ellie Slorach, our former Assistant Conductor, as she is welcomed again by the NCO following her hugely successful performance last season of Vivaldi’s Gloria. This season she also returns to the RLPO, BBC Philharmonic, RSNO and Manchester Camerata.
