Conductor James Conlon, the beloved former Music Director of the May Festival whose 37-year tenure as artistic leader remains the longest in Festival history, returns to lead a new work by American composer Julia Adolphe and Mozart’s famous music for a Requiem Mass. First performed by the May Festival in 1882, the Requiem radiates fearless brilliance—sacred music for The Last Judgement that touches on the sublime.
This concert is sponsored by the Christine E. and Thomas L. Neyer, Sr. Family.
Pre-Concert Talk and More!
Join us in Corbett Tower for a pre-concert talk at 6:30 pm hosted by Matthew Swanson, with May Festival Music Director Laureate James Conlon and composer Julia Adolphe, whose Crown of Hummingbirds will feature in the evening’s concert.
