“Rosemary Joshua was crystalline in tone and effervescent in personality.”–The Daily Telegraph

The season concludes with a program of coronations. Mozart’s Coronation Mass includes the tender Agnus Dei, to be performed by one of the world’s most acclaimed sopranos, Rosemary Joshua. Haydn’s Symphony No. 85 was a favorite of Marie Antoinette, leading to the name La reine, by which it’s still known today.

Program:

  • Handel: Zadok the Priest
  • Mozart: Exsultate, jubilate
  • Haydn: Symphony No. 85, La reine
  • Handel: Arrival of the Queen of Sheba
  • Handel: “Ev'ry sight these eyes behold” from Solomon
  • Mozart: Coronation Mass
