Sacred & Profane 2 – Remember

Bask in the ethereal glow of the iconic St Peter’s Cathedral. Enter a world of breathtaking beauty and inspiration with music that celebrates our shared humanity and the vibrancy of our world. Chief Conductor Mark Wigglesworth will lead an unmissable performance of Mozart’s Requiem. This monumental work unfolds with breathtaking intensity, as the full orchestra and chorus come together in a grand choral embrace. The evening opens with Strauss’s Metamorphosen, a song like work for solo strings alone, in which soaring melodies reflect a nostalgia for the passion of the 19th century before a conclusion that touches on the tragedies of the 20th. The audience is urged to remember history if seeking to influence the future.
