Music taster session
This taster session is suitable for students with an interest in studying Music at university.
Mozart's Requiem: Facts, Fictions, Legends
While it is often thought that music-historical facts generate interpretations, the reality can be much more complex. Mozart's Requiem, famously left incomplete at the composer's death in 1791, is a fascinating case in point, shrouded in mysteries and legends that stimulated all kinds of musical and non-musical reactions and interpretations in the nineteenth century and beyond. We continue to live with the legacy of fiction and legend around the work, which Professor Keefe argues is not a negative state of affairs (as is so often suggested), but a positive one. By embracing legends and myths, we learn more about what the work has meant collectively to us.
When: Thursday 30 June 2022, 3.45pm - 5.15pm
Age group: Year 11, Year 12 and Year 13
