United Voices Choir is presenting two of Mozart’s most beloved sacred works: the Requiem and Coronation Mass. Performances take place at Pacific Spirit United Church on November 22 at 2 pm and at St. Andrew’s–Wesley United Church on November 27 at 7:30 pm.
Mozart’s 1791 Requiem is one of the most powerful and enduring masterpieces ever written. For centuries, it has captivated audiences with its dramatic intensity, emotional depth, and breathtaking beauty. From the thunderous “Dies Irae” to the exquisite “Lacrimosa”, this extraordinary music speaks directly to the heart, inspiring awe, reflection, and hope.
Written more than a decade earlier, the radiant 1779 Coronation Mass reveals another side of the composer’s genius, overflowing with graceful melodies and joyful energy.
Director Greg Caisley leads this concert, which features the 60-voice choir, an orchestra, and four soloists: soprano Rachel Suzanne, countertenor Erik Kallo, tenor Mark De Silva, and baritone David Rosborough.
Tickets are available through United Voices Choir.
