Requiem (KV 626)

W. A. Mozart's Requiem is one of the most moving works that classical music has to offer. The appealing fascination surrounding this masterpiece is further enhanced by the many myths associated with Mozart's last composition. The Requiem carries the strong emotions that come over people in the face of death: fear, anger, despair, sadness, hope, comfort.

The concerts will take place on the 31st. of Ctober and on the 2nd of November 2024.

Additionally, there is going to be a concert on the night from 4 to 5 December at 00:00.  Because this night is the night when Mozart died of "hot frieselfever" in Vienna in 1791. Every year on this occasion the Night Requiem, which ends with a solemn procession and the ringing of the death bell approximately at the minute of the composer's death (5 December 1791, 0:55am), represents an atmospheric highlight in the concert calendar of St. Stephen's Cathedral.
