NatPhil and The Washington Chorus reunite for Mozart’s monumental Requiem and the East Coast premiere of Jocelyn Hagen’s What the Soul Already Knows. Few works in classical music carry the mystique and emotional weight of Mozart’s Requiem in D minor. Left unfinished at the time of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s death, this powerful masterpiece has captivated audiences for centuries with its haunting beauty and dramatic intensity. Continuing the exploration of the sacred, What the Soul Already Knows is a 10-movement meditation on our shared humanity and the potential for beauty that arises when we live in alignment with gratitude, unity, and service. Experience the energy of these two powerhouse ensembles in the grand finale of NatPhil’s season.
