Perpetual Light

Mozart’s imposing Requiem—a swansong of sorts that has been shrouded in mystery from its inception—has fascinated performers, musicologists, and audiences for almost a quarter of a millennium. The Musica Viva NY choir and orchestra pair Mozart’s masterpiece with an equally imposing work by the brilliant Argentinian composer Osvaldo Golijov.
