The Pelham music scene has another classical event on the calendar.
On Sunday, November 15, at 4:00 PM, Christ Church Pelham Manor will present Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Requiem in D minor, K. 626. The performance is part of the Friends of Music concert series. Justin Bischof will conduct the event. He serves as the founder and artistic director of the MOO Modus Operandi Orchestra, a professional New York City ensemble. He is also the director of music and organist for Christ Church.
This performance follows an earlier event in the series. On October 21, the group held an orchestral celebration marking America's 250th anniversary. The series aims to bring major works of the classical repertoire to the Pelham community. The upcoming concert features the Christ Church Parish Choir, The Modus Singers, and the MOO Modus Operandi Orchestra performing together.
Mozart composed the Requiem during the final months of his life. He died in December 1791 with the work unfinished. His pupil Franz Xaver Süssmayr completed the score. The version most frequently performed today includes Süssmayr's additions. The piece contains sections such as the Dies Irae and the Lacrimosa.
Tickets are available for purchase through Eventbrite. The venue is located at 1415 Pelhamdale Avenue in Pelham Manor. Parking is available across from the church. More information is listed on the website www.christchurchpelham.org.
