About

Mozart’s Requiem is a choral masterpiece veiled in mystery, making it one of the most fascinating and emotionally stirring works in classical music. Composed during the final months of Mozart’s life, the piece was commissioned by an anonymous patron, which spooked the composer, who believed he was writing his own funeral song as his health rapidly deteriorated. Though Mozart passed away before completing Requiem, his student Franz Süssmayor finished the work based on Mozart’s detailed instructions. The piece is filled with haunting beauty, showcasing Mozart’s genius even in his final days. Under the direction of Jack Pott, music director of the Hartford Chorale, the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, joined by the Hartford Chorale, will perform this iconic work alongside Haydn’s emotionally charged Symphony No. 44, and Martinez’s Symphony in C Major, highlighting innovative spirits and emotional depth of these great composers.
