The Quayside Choir is joining forces with Wareham Choral Society to give two performances of the highly popular, emotive and dramatic Requiem by W A Mozart, completed by his student, Franz Sussmayr. The unique circumstances surrounding the composition of the Requiem are remarkable and have formed the basis of many theories and much speculation. However, all this conjecture fades into insignificance next to the overwhelming appreciation of the masterpiece that this music represents.
