About the event
This year, the St. Patrick Lorica Choir along with professional orchestra and vocal soloists will be presenting Mozart’s beloved Coronation Mass and Michael Haydn’s cantata Applicatio, which is likely to be the first time this music has been played since its premiere in 1782.
Michael Haydn was the younger brother of the internationally well-known composer Joseph Haydn. He was also a prolific and celebrated composer as he came of age in mid-18th century Vienna. In 1762 he accepted a job in Salzburg, Austria and became a colleague of Mozart’s father Leopold. Wolfgang Mozart, only six years old at the time, was starting his career as a composer and wonderchild. Over the next two decades Wolfang would also become Michael Haydn’s professional colleague in Salzburg, and the two would hold each other’s music in high esteem.
