Pre Performance Talk
Sun 4 Sept 2022, 2:00 PM
Prior to the concert at 1pm you are invited to join Dr Simon Perry from UQ’s School of Music for a pre-concert talk that will provide audiences with an orientation to Verdi’s Requiem and what listeners can expect. Verdi’s “Messa da Requiem”, one of the most famous of all musical settings of the Catholic Liturgy for the commemoration of the dead, is a large and multifaceted work for vocal soloists, chorus, and full symphony orchestra. Dr Perry will take listeners through an overview of the work, focusing on how it relates to the liturgy and its form and musical styles. The talk will be held in the Concert Hall.
