🎼 Danesborough Chorus Haydn Nelson Mass at St Mary's Church in Woburn
Saturday 28 June 2025
Time: 19:30 - 21:30
🎼 Our 50th Anniversary Season concludes with our summer concert featuring Haydn’s Nelson Mass and Mozart’s Solemn Vespers and Divertimento in D major.
⛪️ EVENT DETAILS
The concert, on Saturday 28 June 7.30 pm in St Mary’s Parish Church, Woburn, will be conducted by Ian Smith and accompanied by the Alina Orchestra.
▪️Doors open: 7.00pm
▪️Starts: 7.30pm
📖 THE NELSON MASS
The Nelson Mass (Missa in Angustiis), arguably Haydn’s greatest single composition, is one of the six late masses that he had written for the Esterhazy family. It was composed in the summer of 1798 at the time when Napoleon and his French armies occupied much of Austria. Precisely how Haydn’s Nelson Mass became so-called will probably never be known. What is clear is that within a month of the Battle of the Nile (1 August 1798), when the British fleet commanded by Admiral Nelson defeated Napoleon‘s French fleet, Haydn had completed his latest Mass. Two years later Haydn performed this work before Nelson during his visit to the Esterházy palace at Eisenstadt. It gradually became referred to as the Nelson Mass. In the years following it became increasingly famous and to this day it is certainly one of his best-known and most popular choral works.
📖 ABOUT MOZART
Mozart wrote Solemn Vespers (Vesperae Solennes de Confessore) in 1780 for liturgical use in Salzburg Cathedral, his final choral work composed for the cathedral. Six movements of wonderful, religious music, culminating in, surely, one of Mozart’s finest tunes in the Laudate Dominum.
Mozart composed Divertimento for strings in D major during the winter of 1772 when he was sixteen. It is a delightful, youthful work, with exuberant energy, a lyrical slow movement, and even some Haydnesque humour.
🍓 BRING STRAWBERRIES & WINE
We hope you are able to join us for this special occasion, and, for a truly sparkling summer evening at Woburn, remember to bring strawberries and wine for the traditional extended interval on the lawns!
♿️ ACCESSIBILITY
Facilities via steps or external path to flat entrance. Church access via steps or ramp.

🎣 Men to Talk - Fishing for well-being at Manor Farm Lake in Lower Caldecote
Saturday 28 June 2025
Time: 13:00 - 15:00 Price: £5.00
🗣 A Safe Space for Men to Talk
‘For Men To Talk’ is a support group for men dealing with anxiety, depression, and grief. The fishing meetings give men a chance to talk openly with others who understand. Whether they share their struggles or simply enjoy the quiet company of others, they are never alone.
ℹ️ ABOUT
Casting lines and building connections: ‘For Men To Talk and Fish’ in 2025 In 2025, ‘For Men To Talk’ will continue their popular ‘For Men To Talk and Fish’ meetings at Manor Farm Lakes in Lower Caldecote. These sessions are more than just fishing—they’re a lifeline...
ℹ️ ABOUT
Casting lines and building connections: ‘For Men To Talk and Fish’ in 2025 In 2025, ‘For Men To Talk’ will continue their popular ‘For Men To Talk and Fish’ meetings at Manor Farm Lakes in Lower Caldecote. These sessions are more than just fishing—they’re a lifeline...
🎣 The Mental Health Benefits of Fishing
Fishing is more than just a hobby. It helps men step away from their busy lives and relax. The slow, steady process of fishing—casting a line, waiting, and focusing on the water—can be very calming. It helps lower stress and gives men time to clear their minds.
Spending time outdoors is also important for mental health. Being in nature can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and boost overall well-being. Fishing provides a chance to breathe fresh air, enjoy quiet moments, and feel a sense of achievement.
🎣 WHAT'S INCLUDED?
A fully qualified facilitator and level 2 angling coach with over 30 years of angling experience. They will also provide fishing tackle, bait, etc. Please note that a rod licence to fish will be provided.
🎟 TICKET PRICE - £5
‘For Men To Talk’ ask for a non-refundable contribution amount of £5 per meeting.
Required attendees: 8 men. Tickets can be booked via the event link.
