About This Event

Raphaël Pichon and his exciting ensemble Pygmalion present an alternative vision of Mozart’s Requiem, famously left incomplete at the composer’s death. Tonight’s reimagining swells the popular completion by Mozart’s pupil Süssmayr with additional pieces to create a compelling alternative sequence.

There will be no interval

Sandrine Piau will be performing in tonight’s Prom, Prom 69: Mozart’s Requiem, replacing Erin Morley, who is sadly unwell.
