Serenade on The Green

Schloss Pillnitz

The genesis of the Mozart Requiem, which tragically turned out to be the composer’s own swan song, is cloaked in mystery. The legend begins in 1791 with an unknown »grey messenger« ordering a mass for the dead. Mozart, however, died before completing the work, a task that fell to his student Franz Xaver Süßmayr. Musically, the Requiem marks a culminating point in the composer’s oeuvre. The choral passages stand testament to his highest mastery, challenging choristers with harmonically demanding passages and compelling fugues. The work offers a fulfilling musical experience for all those performing it – and by booking singalong tickets for this concert, you can join the renowned Kreuzchor from Dresden under the baton of its cantor Martin Lehmann in singing this iconic choral work, actively partaking of all its august beauty and dramatic intensity.
