Choral Society bring Mozart's Requiem to the Northcott

The choir takes to the Great Hall stage once again with Mozart’s Requiem on Saturday the 16th March.

Excerpts of this heartfelt performance recently echoed through the Northcott Theatre in association with EUTCO’s performance of Amadeus.

Exeter University’s Choral Society is one of the largest musical societies on campus and is dedicated to bringing spectacular performances of beautiful music to campus.

With Mozart’s Requiem tickets available from as little as £1, it is certainly not to be missed. Amnesty International have been invited to fundraise alongside the event as a part of their annual campaign week.

Choral Soc have been also fundraising for the Eddystone Trust, donating nearly £590 after their successful Bach in B Minor concert.

An exploration of musical genius – Amadeus at the Northcott

Exeter University Theatre Company will transform the Northcott theatre into 18th Century Vienna this week as they recount the story of a genius: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus theatrically explores Mozart’s life story and his relationship with Sallieri, a court composer and the only man in Vienna who appreciates Mozart as a musical genius.

Sallieri battles with the realisation that some are born with extraordinary gifts, while others are resigned to mediocrity.

The cast of 24 will present the intrigue of the Imperial Court, all the splendour and squalor of 18th Century Vienna, and the captivating simplicity of beautiful music.

EUTCo, together with Choral Soc, promises to bring Mozart’s music to life with spectacular renditions of his greatest compositions.

Amadeus will run from the 6th– 9th February at Exeter Northcott. Book tickets here: http://exeternorthcott.co.uk/amadeus
