MODEST MASTERPIECES: An Evening of Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is easily considered one of the greatest composers to have ever lived. Celebrated for his symphonies, operas, chamber music, piano works, and large-scale choral works (the Requiem being the most performed), Mozart also composed a considerable amount of stand-alone works for choir, such as his beloved Ave verum corpus. The Cathedral Choir will sing this and other small choral gems by Mozart, including the Laudate Dominum from his Solemn Vespers. The concert will also feature works written for mechanical organ and performed by our Cathedral Organists, as well as several of Mozart’s Church Sonatas, which are satisfying short works for strings and continuo that are not often performed. Please join us for an elegant evening of sacred music by Mozart.
