Mozart Requiem and Golijov Oceana

with Auburn Symphony Orchestra

Pre-concert conversation will take place 30 minutes before the concert start time.

We join Auburn Symphony Orchestra and conductor Wesley Schulz to perform two masterworks: Mozart’s Requiem and Osvaldo Golijov’s hypnotic Oceana. Oceana sets the poetry of Pablo Neruda to music that melds J.S. Bach with South American Rhythms. With chorus, chamber orchestra, guitars, harp, and a Brazilian jazz vocalist, Golijov invokes the ocean with stunning effect. Mozart’s Requiem is a timeless journey from darkness toward light and resolution. Together, these works will take you on a profound exploration of the unknown.
