4^th Sunday Concert Series April 2012 Event   

Sunday, April 22, 2012        6:30 pm               Mozart Requiem                                                    

“When Mozart died in the early morning hours of December 5, 1791 (at age 35), he left his final masterpiece, the Requiem, unfinished. Less than three months later, a completed score of the Requiem was delivered to its anonymous commissioner,” writes Yvonne Grover. “How was the Requiem completed and how would Mozart have completed it had he lived? These mysteries have tantalized musicians for over two centuries.” The Chancel Choir will perform the work with professional orchestra and soloists under the direction of Polly Edmonds Baldridge.

Suggested donation $10.
