The Philadelphia Orchestra: The Verdi Requiem October 19, 2012

A monumental work for a monumental occasion—the inaugural concerts of The Philadelphia Orchestra’s eighth music director. Continuing his exploration of the great requiems, Yannick has assembled an international cast of spectacular vocalists for the profound drama and operatic style of Verdi’s revered Requiem. The thundering of the famous “Dies irae,” the brass choirs throughout the hall, and the multitude of voices raised to the heavens combine to create a powerful musical experience that will kickoff this remarkable season.
