A chance to hear the wonderful Requiem by Mozart with our own English Symphony Orchestra and Hereford-based choir Academia Musica with Ken Woods at the helm, on Friday 27 February in Hereford Cathedral.
Mozart’s Requiem has been shrouded in mystery and rumour since it was first published. Commissioned by an anonymous stranger and completed for performance after Mozart’s death under controversial circumstances, the Requiem is also a work with a complex and intricate connection to Mozart’s musical forebears. ESO Principal Conductor Kenneth Woods takes listeners on a journey of discovery into the origins of Mozart’s last and greatest work, heard here alongside some of the works Mozart turned to for inspiration in the final weeks of his life.
