100 Faces of Croydon
100 Faces of Croydon is a community-led photography and music project from London Mozart Players (LMP) which showcases the local people that make our borough special.
Over the last few weeks, 30 local photographers have taken portraits of 100 people in various locations around Croydon. Two photos of each ‘face’ have been taken; one black and white headshot and one coloured photo taken in an environment which symbolises what Croydon means to them.
The headshots will be revealed during LMP’s Mozart: the Mixtape on Saturday 10 February concert and then released in an online gallery. During this reveal, the 100 ‘faces’ will participate in a special musical performance.
100 Faces of Croydon is funded and supported by This is Croydon: The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan’s, London Borough of Culture.

Haydn’s Nelson Mass was composed in 1798 against a backdrop of fear as Napoleon’s army fought its way to Austria. Haydn didn’t know it, but while he was writing this choral masterpiece (originally called Missa in Angustiis or ‘Mass for Troubled Times’), the British Royal Navy under Admiral Horatio Nelson was delivering a stunning victory over the French forces at the Battle of the Nile. News of the victory supposedly reached Haydn on the day of the work’s premiere, and so began its association with the naval hero, cemented when Nelson visited the Esterhazy court and met Haydn in 1800.
The turbulent atmosphere is evoked throughout this magnificent choral work, from the opening lines of the Kyrie through to the dramatic intensity of the Benedictus; and yet, as with his symphonies and in keeping with the custom of providing a happy ending, the culminating mood is optimistic. Haydn’s music seems to underline human resilience amidst the horrors of conflict.
Join the Royal Choral Society, the London Mozart Players and a quartet of soloists under the baton of Richard Cooke to present this outstanding work in Chelmsford Cathedral. The concert opens with two glorious anthems composed by Handel for the coronation of King George II, after which the orchestra will play Mozart’s enchanting Symphony No.29, a high point of his early symphonic writing. Mozart’s captivating melodies have all the elegance of his mentor, Haydn.
The Royal Choral Society has been performing the choral masterpieces ever since its formation for the opening of the Royal Albert Hall in 1871, including the UK premières of Verdi’s Requiem in 1875, and Dvorak’s Stabat Mater in 1884, both concerts conducted by their composers.

Joined by the winner of Croydon Performing Arts Festival and our newly created Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Prize, we’re tracing the evolution of music from baroque to rock.
At the heart of our residency at St John’s is a mission to inspire the younger generation and allow as many people as possible to hear our music. By purchasing one of our £26 tickets, you are enabling a young person, or someone who is not normally able to attend, the chance to come to our concert and enjoy the night free of charge. You’ll also receive a glass of Prosecco and reserved seating free of charge.
Our Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Prize has been created to support young composers from underrepresented backgrounds. The winner, Ryan Morgan, has had the opportunity to develop their work with LMP’s musicians and industry experts. This concert will premiere his piece ‘Phantom Pyres’.
