Mozart's Requiem

Sunday, May 4 at 7:00 p.m.

Composed by a man on the edge of consciousness, Mozart willed his last creation, the Requiem in D minor, into life with his final breaths. But he died before completing it. He was only 35. Now, for Abendmusik at First-Plymouth’s season finale, four choirs – Plymouth Choir, Westminster Choir, Hastings College Choir, and Nebraska Wesleyan University Choir – join professional soloists, the Abendmusik Chamber Orchestra, and conductor Tom Trenney in resurrecting the glorious masterpiece.

The featured soloists for the concert are Shannon Engel, soprano; Adrienne Dickson, alto; Matthew Clegg, tenor; and Brett Epperson, bass. The concert is co-sponsored by Phyllis Martin Owen with the support of Foster Collins, Jr., Mike and Diane Dinnel, and Nebraska Wesleyan University.

Additionally, Pamela Starr, Professor Emerita of Music History at UNL, will precede the concert with thoughts on Mozart and his Requiem. Her talk will run from 6:00 to 6:30 PM in First-Plymouth’s Pilgrim Hall, located at 2000 D Street in Lincoln.
