Experience the awe-inspiring power of Giuseppe Verdi’s Messa da requiem — a work of profound drama, spiritual depth, and musical grandeur. Composed in memory of the Italian poet Alessandro Manzoni, Verdi’s Requiem transcends the traditional liturgical form to deliver a deeply human meditation on life, death, and the hope for eternal peace.

With operatic intensity, sweeping orchestration, and heart-stirring solos, the Requiem stands as one of the most compelling choral-orchestral masterpieces ever written. From the thunderous terror of the “Dies irae” to the serene beauty of the “Lacrimosa,” Verdi channels the full emotional spectrum in a work as theatrical as it is sacred.

This special performance features the Wichita Symphony Chorus, Wichita State University Choirs, soprano Shannon Jennings, mezzo-soprano Christine Goerke, tenor Victor Starsky, and bass Raymond Aceto.
