Honeck Conducts Mozart’s Requiem

February 26–March 1
Davies Symphony Hall

George Lange

Conductor Manfred Honeck presents his theatrical interpretation of Mozart’s magisterial swan song, literally composed on his deathbed. Honeck’s illuminating selection of dramatic readings, choral interpolations, and other enhancements bring new insights to the score. Also on the program is Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 93, written during the composer’s triumphant late-career stay in London. Haydn had never traveled outside his native Austria, but he took to his growing international fame like a natural. Who knows? Symphony No. 93 might inspire you to launch your own second act.
