Event Details

MASS APPEAL is back for take 2 by presenting again Mozart's great musical masterpiece (and also his last), Requiem in d minor, K. 626.  Presented in conjunction with Make Music New York, singers and instrumentalists from around New York are invited to join us and conductor Douglas Anderson to celebrate the Summer Solstice with this open performance of Mozart’s profound and solemn work.  The performance takes place on June 21 at the Naumberg Bandshell (Terrace Dr. near West 72nd Street, New York, NY 10019) located in New York's iconic Central Park.  The onetime site of a Martin Luther King Jr. speech and John Lennon's eulogy, the neoclassical Naumburg Bandshell is a Central Park landmark and the go-to place for outdoor performances and festivals year-round.  
On June 21, the gathering of singers and instrumentalists will begin at 5:30 pm with an introduction and notes from conductor and composer Douglas Anderson. Maestro Anderson will conduct the performance of the entire Requiem beginning at 6 pm. The performance will conclude at approximately 7:00 pm. Vocalists and instrumentalists are invited to bring their own scores and parts to participate. Music is available online for download and some copies will be on hand during the performance. (see below for instructions)."
Below there is information about how to sign up, how to find PDFs of the music, how to practice the vocal parts with online help, how to attend a rehearsal, and what to do on the day of the performance (June 21).
Instrumentation: The Requiem is scored for 2 clarinets (or basset horns), 2 bassoons, 2 trumpets in D, 3 trombones (alto, tenor, and bass), timpani (2 drums), first and second violins, violas, cellos, double basses, and organ. Instrumentalists who play instruments that are not included in Mozart’s orchestra are also invited; they will have to choose a part appropriate to their instrument and adapt (transpose, etc.) it so it will work in the performance.For more information please contact: mmnymozart@gmail.com and/or register here for a "ticket" with your voice part or instrument!Warmup/readthrough rehearsals: Prior to the performance there will be both a vocal rehearsal and an instrumental rehearsal at the nearby Borough of Manhattan C
