Sunday 20 November 3:00pm Howard Assembly Room at Opera North 46 New Briggate, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 6NU A Portrait of Heinrich Biber (1644 – 1704) Leeds Baroque Choir & Orchestra directed by Peter Holman Pre-concert talk by Dr Tassilo Erhardt Heinrich Biber (1644-1704) was the greatest Austrian composer of the seventeenth century, to be ranked with his contemporaries Marc-Antoine Charpentier in France and Henry Purcell in England. The centrepiece of this concert is Biber’s Missa Sancti Henrici, a mature masterpiece written in 1696 with a selection of Biber’s secular instrumental music, including a virtuosic suite for two scordatura violins and continuo, the remarkable Battalia, and the popular Night watchman’s Serenade. Biber has long been one of director Peter Holman’s favourite composers, and this concert is an appropriate way of celebrating his 70th birthday.
