Glyndebourne – Mozart’s Requiem

A special concert of instrumental and vocal works pairs music by French composer Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges – celebrated swordsman, virtuoso violinist, and the first star classical composer of African ancestry – with that of his contemporary and rival Mozart.

Mozart’s Requiem puts the Glyndebourne Chorus in the spotlight. The composer’s emotionally-charged final work takes listeners from the darkness of the Day of Judgement through grief and loss to consolation and redemption in some of the greatest music Mozart would ever write.
