Iconic Verdi

Conductor Rossen Milanov takes charge of Columbus Symphony Orchestra for this rousing performance of Verdi's monumental Requiem! Joined by the Columbus Symphony Chorus under the direction of Stephen Caracciolo, together with soprano Ann Toomey, mezzo-soprano Alice Chung, tenor Moises Salazar and bass Richard Ollarsaba, witness an iconic work in the classical music canon, and one that must not be missed any time it is performed.

Requiem is one of Giuseppe Verdi most iconic pieces of music and was written honor of Alessandro Manzoni, a reknown Italian poet and novelist who passed away in 1873. Verdi could not bring himself to attend the funeral for his admired friend and artistic ally, instead creating a Requiem Mass in memory of Manzoni's life.
