About Bookends: Mozart and Britten

As we mark 50 years since the death of Britain's greatest 20th century composer, we perform one of Benjamin Britten's earliest works and another composed by Arvo Pärt after Britten's death.

In a similar vein, the chorus will perform Mozart's earliest known choral work and his incomplete Requiem, which was the last work he composed.
