Ars Nova Singers take on Mozart's Requiem
Today and Saturday. One of the most popular and storied of all of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's creations is his Requiem in D minor, K. 626. The work, which was famously left unfinished at the time of the composer's death in 1791, offers his take on the traditional Catholic Mass for the dead. The Boulder-based Ars Nova Singers, augmented to 60 voices, will join conductor Bahman Saless and the 30-member Boulder Chamber Orchestra for two performances of the work this weekend. Concerts are set for 7:30 p.m. today in St. John's Episcopal Cathedral, 1350 Washington St., and 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the First United Methodist Church, 1421 Spruce St., Boulder. $12-$25. 303-583-1278 or boulderchamberorchestra.org.
