Mozart’s Requiem

One of the most beloved musical works of all time, Mozart’s Requiem has its Early Music Vancouver debut. Led by our esteemed music director, Alexander Weimann, this performance features the Pacific Baroque Orchestra, the Vancouver Cantata Singers, and four outstanding vocal soloists.

Beginning with the weight of earthly sorrow, its soaring choral lines and radiant harmonies gradually lift the spirit toward transcendence. Through its sublime beauty, the Requiem transforms grief into a luminous journey—one where the soul, unburdened, rises toward serenity and eternal joy.

Shrouded in mystery and left unfinished upon the composer’s death in 1791, the Requiem presents intense questions about life, death, and the afterlife. This performance presents a modern completion from 2024 by English conductor and composer Howard Arman, a fruitful approach that leads to new listening experiences in this timeless work.
