Experience Verdi’s Messa da Requiem, one of classical music’s most virtuosic and transcendent works, in concert and in film. Electrifying conductor Teodor Currentzis and the 100-member orchestra and 80-member chorus musicAeterna from Perm, Russia, will take the stage in The Shed’s McCourt to perform Requiem.
Following rapturous reviews at this summer’s Salzburg Festival, the performances mark Currentzis and musicAeterna’s North American debut.
A new cinematic artwork set to Verdi’s score by late, beloved filmmaker Jonas Mekas, and co-commissioned by The Shed and Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, will accompany the performances of Requiem. The film will also separately be screened in the Level 4 Gallery.
“The conductor Teodor Currentzis—anarchist, goth, guru—has burst out of the Russian provinces and scaled the classical heights.” —The New York Times
