Program:
Giuseppe Verdi – Messa da requiem
Written in honor of Italian poet Alessandro Manzoni, Verdi’s Requiem explores powerful emotions such as forgiveness, mercy, loss, and sorrow, and includes an inescapable, trumpeted call to Judgment in the Tuba mirum. The combination of brass, timpani, and chorus in this call build passionately to produce a moment of the loudest unamplified music ever written.
A pre-concert lecture will be presented by Ardean Watts at 7:15 PM in the First Tier room.
Run Time: approx 90 minutes
This performance is presented without an intermission.
