Mozart’s Requiem in D minor is one of the most popular and well-known pieces of classical music ever written. On May 3 and 4, Santa Cruz Symphony will join forces with Cabrillo Symphonic Chorus and four stellar vocalists to bring you the brilliance and emotional impact of this magnum opus.
Our program will also feature a new arrangement of Björk's Overture to Dancer in the Dark by our very own Maestro Daniel Stewart, and a stunning world premiere of Daniel Stewart's Lux Perpetua.
These masterworks offer a perfect showcase for the vocal power and harmonic expression of Cabrillo Symphonic Chorus, under the direction of Cheryl Anderson (who will be making her final appearance as Director in this concert).
Prepare to be transported, both spiritually and emotionally, in this thrilling conclusion to our 2024-25 classical concert series. We invite you to share this unforgettable performance with us!
