Mozart Requiem

A Moving Tribute to the Human Condition and Art

The Bach Society of Minnesota will revive the enigmatic power of Mozart’s Requiem, a composition laden with historical drama. Commissioned in 1791 by a mysterious messenger, this piece led Mozart to believe it was intended for his own funeral, a reflection of his deteriorating health. Left incomplete at his death, the Requiem was completed by his student Franz Xaver Süssmayr. As one of Mozart’s most iconic works, it is renowned for its complex choral arrangements and intense emotional depth. The Bach Society’s performance will bring to life the Requiem’s intricate structure and profound impact, emphasizing its place as a cornerstone of classical music.
