Ars Musica Chorale will be presenting W.A. Mozart's Requiem, one of the choral world's most important and beautiful masterpieces. The work will be accompanied by Adelphi Orchestra and will feature four beautiful soloists that are members of our Encore Young Artist program. Mozart famously never completed writing his Requiem as he tragically died during its composition in 1791. In the months following Mozart's death, his wife, Constanze, searched for suitable composers to finish the piece. After several attempts at finding someone, she discovered that Franz Süssmayr, a student of Mozart's, was willing to take on the task. Süssmayr finished what Mozart had started, and composed the Sanctus, Benedictus, Agnus Dei, and Communio entirely on his own. Preceding the Requiem in this concert will be the famous Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor by J.S. Bach, performed by the Adelphi Orchestra.
