Requiem (Mozart)

0 upcoming performances in New York

Mozart’s *Requiem* (K. 626) is a late setting of the Catholic Mass for the dead, written in Vienna in 1791 and left incomplete at the composer’s death, then finished by his circle for a private patron. In New York, it has long functioned as civic repertoire, recurring in concert halls and church memorials from the 19th century onward, even if no single “NYC premiere” is firmly documented. Its power lies in the plain fact of its making: music shaped by urgency, handed off mid-sentence. At NJPAC, the New Jersey Symphony places it at the center of a choral-orchestral program.
