Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem is unmistakably the work of an accomplished opera composer. Trumpets sound a call to judgement in the Tuba mirum, the Rex tremendae evokes unworthiness before the King of Tremendous Majesty, a soprano interrupts to cry out for mercy and a tenor radiates hope for all who do so.
This performance of Verdi’s dramatic work will bring the Choral Union together the choirs and orchestras of SIU Carbondale and Southeast Missouri State University, all under the direction of Dr. Susan Davenport, Director of Choral Activities and Professor of Music at SIU-C.
April 25, 2019 7:30 – 9:30pm : Spring Concert, SIU Choral Union and SIU Concert Choir at Shryock Auditorium, Carbondale, IL
