A Glimpse of the Light: Mozart Requiem

Sat 16 March 2024, 7:30pm,
Huddersfield Town Hall

We join our friends at Huddersfield Choral Society for a night built around Mozart’s stunning Requiem.

One of the great choral masses, Mozart’s Requiem in D minor was his last work and was unfinished on his death in 1791. It was completed the following year by Franz Sussmayr, who may have been working from notes or scraps left by the composer.

Its power and beauty, which make it such an audience favourite, have also given rise to various legends around its composition; that it was commissioned by an ‘unknown, grey stranger’ and that Mozart was convinced that he was composing his own funeral mass.
