Mozart's Requiem
Mozart's Requiem6th April 2019, 19:30 to 21:30 at Snape Maltings Concert Hall, Snape (7.9 miles)
Mozart's mysterious masterpiece and world premiere at Snape
Ipswich Choral Society with Music Director Robin Walker return to Snape following their hugely successful performance of Mendelssohn's Elijah in 2017. The concert on 6 April features a mostly Mozart programme including his famous Requiem and a world premiere of 'The Affirming Flame' by Tom Randle.
Shrouded in mystery, the commissioning of the unfinished Requiem written at the time of Mozart's death in 1791 has always fascinated the musical world. Mozart's Requiem is a choral masterpiece and hugely popular with performers and audiences alike. For their performance at Snape, Ipswich Choral Society is delighted that their President, the international conductor Cem Mansur, will be joining them as guest conductor.
Inspired by the Ipswich Remembers performance when he was invited to sing with Ipswich Choral Society last March, Grammy award winning tenor and composer Tom Randle is thrilled that his new oratorio 'The Affirming Flame' will be premiered at Snape on 6 April. The five part oratorio uses text from poets such as Siegfried Sassoon and Carl Sandburg, and 'The Parcel' from local poet Pam Job of the Suffolk Poetry Society.
