Program

Janaček – Sinfonietta
Mozart – Requiem

Mozart’s genius burns with blazing intensity in the legendary Requiem that was to become his own funeral music. This music is instantly recognizable, thanks to its use in the Academy Award-winning film Amadeus, but to experience it live is to feel its power. Calling for an immense brass section 25 members strong, Janáček’s radiant Sinfonietta rings out with exultant fanfares and celebratory flourish.
