Los Angeles Philharmonic and Los Angeles Master Chorale

Presented as part of the LA Phil’s Rituals festival, curated by Creative Director Esa-Pekka Salonen, this performance brings us face to face with questions of faith, humanity, and mortality.

Mozart’s Requiem owes some of its timeless staying power to the composer’s death prior to its completion. It unfolds as a sacred rite suspended between fear and hope. From its booming Dies irae to its heart wrenching Lacrimosa, the unfinished mass is a powerful yet gentle statement on salvation and eternal rest.

Casual Friday concerts are shorter, no-intermission concerts followed by an onstage conversation with the artists and an after-party featuring LA Phil musicians, plus complimentary beer tastings.
