The Salina Symphony will close its 2024-2025 season with a powerful presentation of Mozart’s Requiem on Sunday, May 4 at 4 p.m. at the Stiefel Theatre.
A work of grandeur and reflection, Mozart’s Requiem will be performed with the Kansas Wesleyan University Philharmonic Choir and the South High New Dawn Singers. The masterwork explores timeless themes of life, death, and redemption through rich, expressive music that continues to move audiences centuries after it was composed.
Before the Requiem, the concert will open with Adoration by Florence Price, featuring principal clarinetist Chris Johnson. Violinist Lun Li, a rising star in the classical world, will then take the stage to perform Joseph Bologne’s Ninth Violin Concerto. Bologne, a brilliant 18th-century Black composer and contemporary of Mozart, is finally being recognized for his extraordinary contributions to classical music.
A pre-concert talk with Maestro Yaniv Segal and David Corman will be held at 3 p.m. at the Stiefel Theatre. Doors open at 2:45 p.m., and attendees should enter through the main theatre entrance.
Tickets for the May 4 concert are available through the Stiefel Theatre Box Office, by calling 785-827-1998, or online at salinasymphony.org.
