Mozart’s Requiem with Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra
This unfailingly gripping work moves from the dark clouds of fate to the piercing light of optimism – a last bid for positivity in the tragic life of a genius cut off in his prime
Mozart’s unfinished Requiem turned out to be his own. This unfailingly gripping work moves from the dark clouds of fate to the piercing light of optimism – a last bid for positivity in the tragic life of a genius cut off in his prime. After his equally sublime late Clarinet Concerto – played by outstanding Spanish clarinettist Laura Ruiz Ferreres – Marios Papadopoulos and the Orchestra are joined by one of the finest mixed-voice college choirs in the land for Mozart’s last musical will and testament. Join us for the most iconic Requiem ever written in the unmatched surroundings of the Sheldonian Theatre.
