Wortham Center, Cullen Theater
Mozart’s Requiem is one of music’s greatest masterpieces. Shrouded in mystery, the Requiem has been a source of controversy and debate for decades. Musicologists still question just how much of the work was completed by Mozart before his death. Mercury Baroque will give Houston its debut period instrument performance of the Requiem. Also on the program is a String Symphony written by Mendelssohn when he was just 12 years old and Mozart’s beautiful Serenata Notturna.
