Grace Church presents
Mozart’s Requiem
Sunday, April 10 at 4:00 PM
Rutland Area Chorus, Orchestra and soloists, under the direction of Dr. Sherrill Blodget, Director of Choral Activities at Castleton University, will perform Mozart’s Requiem on Sunday, April 10 at 4:00 PM at Grace Church in Rutland, VT. Soloists are Allison Devery, soprano; Linda Radtke, alto; Cameron Steinmetz, tenor; Zebulun McLellan, bass. The Requiem was not only one of Mozart's most inspired works, it was one of his last. Mozart left this work unfinished at this death but, at the invitation of Mozart's widow, one of the master's pupils worked from oral instructions and sketches to finish the nearly completed work. In the centuries since, Mozart's Requiem has come to be embraced as a masterpiece of vocal composition. Slate Valley Singers, under the direction of Edward Wilkin, will also perform music by Mark Hayes, Joseph Martin and Stephen Paulus. They will be joined by members of Rutland Area Chorus and the orchestra. A free will offering will be accepted to help defray expenses. The concert will be followed by a reception in Fellowship Hall.
