Mozart died at the age of 35 before he was able to complete his masterful Requiem. Maestro Gomez has conceived a “completion” by commissioning Tucson composer Dan Coleman to compose a work connecting the Requiem to Mozart’s choral gem Ave verum corpus. The quartet of soloists joining the TSO Chorus includes the return of Angela Brower for the second of two weeks.
Estonian composer Arvo Pärt’s Cantus in Memorium Benjamin Britten, is one of his most popular pieces and widely used in film. Equally well-known is Ravel’s Pavane pour une infante défunte (Pavane for a dead princess). The composer’s title might lead the listener to think of this as a lament. Far from it, it’s an evocation of the 16th century stately Spanish court dance, as it could have been danced by a little princess, as painted by Velázquez. Individual event tickets go on sale August 1, 2025. This concert is available as part of a Masterworks Series (all times) or Create Your Own (Saturday 2:00) Subscription. This concert will be preceded by Concert Comments, a pre-concert talk, beginning one hour before each performance. After Mozart’s death, his wife Constanze kept it a secret that the Requiem was completed by another composer, Süssmayr, in order that she could collect the final payment from Count Walsegg for commission. For many successive years, Arvo Pärt has been the most performed living classical composer. He won a Grammy Award in 2014 for his choral work, Adam’s Lament.Plan Your Visit
