About the Program
In this profound program, pianist Awadagin Pratt performs two concertos written especially for him, both inspired by T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. The evening culminates in Mozart’s Requiem, a choral masterpiece that traverses the depths of human existence. From the haunting “Introit” to the fiery “Dies Irae” and the ethereal “Lacrimosa,” Requiem captures the dance of life and death, the tension between stillness and motion, and the journey from mortality to transcendence.
