Mozart: Requiem

Mozart’s final work, the glorious “Requiem,” will be performed by choir and orchestra in the Sanctuary.

No admission will be charged; a free-will offering will be taken to support the music and worship needs of Duncannon Presbyterian Church. Handicapped parking and an elevator are available. A reception will follow in Fellowship Hall.

Helen Anthony, director of music and organist at Derry Church, will direct 43 members of the Sanctuary Choir as they sing the 50-minute Mass for the dead in Latin, with accompaniment by a 17-piece orchestra. Featured soloists will be Beth Splaine, Mary Stryker, Esther Dell, Mary Lemons, Julie Miller, John Messmer, Dan Schauble, Greg Harris and Barron Shaw.

“This is the first time in recent years that the Sanctuary Choir has performed a major work outside of Sunday morning worship,” said Ms. Anthony. “We have been rehearsing this classic choral piece for nearly two years – on top of music for Sunday mornings – and we look forward to presenting it during Lent, the season when it is often performed.”
