    This summer concert with Bristol Choral Society and Hilary Campbell will be an unforgettable experience. Schubert wrote such wonderful music for singers, and this is a rare chance to hear his Mass in Ab. It's a beautiful piece,  full of heart and awash with melodies. On this occasion it is coupled with another lyrical, romantic piece of orchestral music which will be more familiar to some – Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture. You will be singing to yourself as you step outside Bristol Cathedral, into a warm June evening.
