Presented by Sydney Philharmonia Choirs
ChorusOz is for absolutely everyone – whether you’re in the audience, or taking part in the choir. With a choir of 200 singers from the community, professional soloists, and the Perth Symphony Orchestra under the inspiring direction of Brett Weymark, ChorusOz is one of the most uplifting choral events you’ll ever see. Join us for the musical and emotional journey of Mozart’s Requiem.
Mozart’s Requiem is legendary in more ways than one. Even setting aside the popular fictions, there’s something deeply moving in the idea of a composer striving on his deathbed to finish his last creation, breaking off just a few lines into the heartbreaking lament of the 'Lacrimosa'. And of his widow handing the music over to a student so it could be completed for the “mystery” client. It’s a well-known story – as familiar to music-lovers as the music itself.
Written in late 1791 and left unfinished on 5 December when Mozart died, several composers and musicologists have written completions over the 234 years since: for this ChorusOz we will perform the one by his contemporary Franz Xaver Süssmayr. Even so, Mozart's ultimate masterpiece is a celebration of life and the life eternal, overflowing with drama, heartfelt anguish and elegant beauty.
