Those who attended our recent Beethoven 9 concerts will attest to Richard’s captivating ability to marshal orchestral and choral forces. A review in The Age read: “Tognetti’s direction energised all his artists to deliver a jubilant performance”.
We are joined by acclaimed singers from the Choir of London who are hand-picked from Britain’s leading choral baroque specialists, professional choirs and opera companies. This performance of the Christmas Oratorio, in the week before Christmas is an event not to be missed.
