Tickets are for Saturday 3/24 at 2:00pm
Kirkland Choral Society and Philharmonia Northwest join forces to present Verdi’s monumental masterpiece – Messa da Requiem.
Considered one of the most dramatic works for the concert hall, Verdi’s Requiem is one of the top five picks for all-time great choral orchestral works. Verdi wrote this masterpiece in his later years, when — financially independent because of his operas -- he only worked on projects about which he was deeply passionate. As a result, the Requiem carries a spiritual and emotional power, as well as a deep personal meaning that is unmatched by any of Verdi's other works. This is the creation of a musical genius at the highest peak of his artistic and creative brilliance.
In our presentation, you’ll experience the full power of Verdi's Requiem, including a magical passage where eight trumpets call all to answer before the throne of God.
You won’t want to miss this: outstanding soloists, a full orchestra, and our symphonic choir of over 100 singers in the Northwest’s premier concert setting. Come be part of it!
Dr. Glenn Gregg, conductor
Kim Giordano, Soprano
Melissa Plagemann, Mezzo-Soprano
Tim Janecke, Tenor
Clayton Brainerd, Bass-Baritone
