Verdi's Requiem
Saturday 8:00 pm March 23, 2013
Sunday 2:30 pm March 24, 2013

To celebrate Verdi’s 200th anniversary, the orchestra and chorale perform his dramatic Requiem in the resonant and resplendent California Theatre. Written for the concert hall rather than the cathedral, the Requiem moves from the awe and majesty of Judgment Day to the tenderness of a prayer for peace. Summer Pops favorite Maestro Jaffe, in his regular season debut, conducts this moving work by the great Italian master of vocal magic.

Soloist(s): Symphony Silicon Valley Chorale, Elena Sharkova, Director
Christina Major, Soprano
Layna Chianakas, Mezzo-Soprano
