Portland Symphonic Choir Summer Sings: W.A. Mozart Requiem in D minor
Free (RSVP required)
- Kari Burgess, soprano
- Cecille Elliott, mezzo-soprano
- Jesse Preis, tenor
- Zachary Lenox, baritone
- Shohei Kobayashi, conductor
Join us for our first evening of the Summer Sings 2023 series by singing along with Mozart's Requiem, conducted by Shohei Kobayashi.
Insight, historical context, and interpretation, make this sing-through much more than a read-through of music. Dr. Kobayashi will lead us through an experiential and beautiful evening of singing the Mozart Requiem.
Mozart was familiar with the consequences of death. The youngest of 7 children, 5 of them died in infancy, and of his own 6 children, only 2 survived. The Requiem was Mozart's final work and he himself died before completing it. Mozart willed his last creation into life before dying at 35.
