W.A. MOZART  Requiem

We welcome guest conductor Bernard Labadie back to Kansas City in a deeply moving program featuring this cherished masterwork. Mozart’s Requiem runs the emotional gamut, from tender entreaties and tranquil sonorities to stormy wrath and complex counterpoint. Outstanding vocal soloists will join the Kansas City Symphony Chorus in this awe-inspiring work, left unfinished at Mozart’s untimely death. Completed by Franz Süssmayer, a copyist who assisted Mozart with his last two operas, the Requiem stands as tribute to a genius whose music has endured, touching hearts across the centuries. As Franz Schubert wrote in his diary, “O Mozart, immortal Mozart, how many, oh how endlessly many such comforting perceptions of a brighter and better life hast thou brought to our souls!”
