MOZART REQUIEM – Das unvollendete Meisterwerk über Tod und Hoffnung

Mozart's Requiem rises from the depths. Dark strings and winds, pleading voices, effervescent choirs. Music knows the mighty tremor as well as the silent lamentation, fear as well as consolation and hope. Mozart was unable to complete his last work. He died in 1791 in the middle of his work – and left behind music that even stood still on the threshold between life and death. A stirring sound about disappearance and transience.

The Graubünden cultural institution Origen gives Mozart's work in an unusual format. The audience sits with the orchestra, very close to the artists, in the middle of the stream of music. An in-depth introduction explains the motifs, the work and its creation. The musicians present their playing at close range. The performance celebrates the proximity to the artists, the immediacy of the sound, the physical power of the music and the people making music.

In addition to the concerts, the Cathedral Treasure Museum invites you to a special guided tour of the Chur Death Pictures at 5.15 p.m. on the performance days - with special attention to the musical instruments depicted. The tours last about 30 minutes. Admission is free (collection). Registration is made directly via the Cathedral Treasure Museum: +41 81 258 60 20 or info@domschatzmuseum-chur.ch.
