Mozart’s Requiem

Program

Associate Conductor Karl Hirzer explores life’s journey with Mahler and Mozart. Mahler’s sublime Rückert Songs grapples with themes of love and nature. When Mozart, already nearing the end of his life, was mysteriously commissioned to write a Requiem Mass, the work became the composer’s feverishly written — yet eternally noble and profound — final testament.
