Around the All Souls’ Day, the Vanemuine symphony orchestra will perform Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s last major work – The Requiem – under the baton of conductor Risto Joost. When the piece was commissioned, the composer was already gravely ill and began composing it at the end of 1791. Unfortunately, he died before completing the work and thus it was finished by one of his students. The programme also includes Mozart’s motet Ave verum corpus, which he wrote in 1791.
