Settle Orchestra and Langcliffe Singers – Beethoven’s Mass in C

This spring, Settle Orchestra is delighted to reunite with Langcliffe Singers for a powerful and uplifting programme of choral and orchestral masterworks. Following their acclaimed 2023 collaboration on Brahms’ Requiem, the two ensembles once again combine their musical forces—this time for Beethoven’s radiant Mass in C, a work full of tenderness, drama, and luminous beauty.

The programme opens with Beethoven’s Egmont Overture, a thrilling depiction of courage and resistance, before moving into Mendelssohn’s contemplative chorale O Haupt voll Blut, a piece of deep emotional resonance that sets the stage for the grandeur to come.

At the podium is Settle Orchestra’s 2025–26 conductor, Andre Chan, postgraduate conductor at the Royal Northern College of Music, whose work with ensembles including the RLPO, Hallé, BBC Philharmonic, and Manchester Camerata brings refinement and expressive insight to these monumental works.
