Explore the spiritual and the sacred in the convergence of these two masterpieces.
In his "Symphony No. 5", Mendelssohn musically reconciles his Jewish heritage with his love for Bach, using hymns to create an impassioned tribute to the Protestant Reformation. Mozart’s "Requiem" mass asks an all-powerful God to accept a human soul into heaven. Written in the final days of the composer’s brief life, this deeply moving choral work showcases Mozart at his finest.
