Distinguished Concerts International New York is set to present Mozart’s “Requiem” at Carnegie Hall on April 29, 2023 as part of a three-act performance.

The showcase, entitled “A Performance of Life and Death,” will also feature Bradley Ellingboe’s “A Place Called Home” as well as “The Music of Russell Robinson.” During this latter segment of the program, Robinson will lead middle school vocal artists.

Mozart’s “Requiem” will feature such soloists as Diana McVey, Teresa Buchholz, Chad Kranak, and Damian Savarino.

“The Requiem is always one of our favorite pieces to bring to the stage. In addition to being a classical masterwork, it also has an incredibly moving story attached to it,” said DCINY Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Jonathan Griffith, in an official press statement. “To this day, scholars have still not reached any definitive agreement about attribution of some sections by Mozart or Süssmayr, which I have come to see as a perfect example of our uniquely human ability for empathy–to step inside the psychic and emotional content of another and feel what they feel. Music was the vehicle for this empathy. DCINY is honored to share this classic with new audiences, through a new generation of musicians.”

Conductor Kenney Potter leads the performance, which kicks off at 7 p.m. local time.
