Requiem van Mozart in de Laurenskerk van Rotterdam

Requiem

Mozart's Requiem became known to the general public through the film 'Amadeus' and is perhaps the most impressive work by this composer, who died young. Mozart wrote it just before his own death, commissioned by an anonymous client. The Requiem evokes feelings of mourning, fear and sadness. But at the same time also hope, light and beauty.

Coronation Messe

The festive Coronation Mass showcases a completely different Mozart. At the coronation of the King of Bohème, the archbishop determined that the mass should not last longer than 25 minutes. Despite, or perhaps because of, this limitation, the Mass radiates vitality and energy.

Exsultate Jubilate

Olga Zinovieva opens the concert with Mozart's motet for soprano solo and orchestra: Exsultate Jubilate!
