Composed in 1798, Joseph Haydn’s Missa in Angustiis, or Nelsonmesse, sets the traditional Catholic mass in a way that reflects the anxiety surrounding Napoleon’s growing military ambitions. UCI Chamber Singers will perform this late classical masterwork with a chamber orchestra comprised of area professionals. Vocal solos will be sung by leading voice students from UCI’s Vocal Arts program.
Free admission. Public is welcome.
Shuttle services will begin one hour before showtime and will meet patrons on Level Two (Mesa Road street level) of the Mesa Parking Structure, by the elevator.
