Our Next Concert: Piedmont Virginia Community College - Dickinson Theater Haydn and Mozart Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass |

| Thomas Jefferson once wrote, "Music is the passion of my soul." Mr. Jefferson heard many concerts of Haydn's and Mozart's music in Europe, and he likely played much of their music himself in his home at Monticello. With such musical giants as these as his contemporaries, it is no wonder that music was such a central part of Jefferson's life.
Celebrate spring in the land of Jefferson with Haydn's thrilling Lord Nelson Mass and Mozart's sublime Solemn Vespers (KV 339). The Oratorio Society chorus and orchestra are joined by a quartet of vocal stars for this concert just two miles from Jefferson's beloved Monticello. |
