Verdi's Requiem

Verdi's Requiem arrives in June 2027 as a joint presentation by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and The Washington Chorus, with Music Director Jonathon Heyward conducting. The program presents Giuseppe Verdi's monumental setting of the Requiem Mass, a work that turns the sacred Latin text into a canvas for the composer's theatrical imagination. Rather than leaving opera behind, Verdi carries his romantic, dramatic voice into the church liturgy, and the performance explores that blend of operatic intensity and spiritual solemnity.

The concert is part of The Washington Chorus's 2026-27 season, a six-concert series curated under Artistic Director Dr. Eugene Rogers that includes collaborations with regional orchestras. For this Verdi program, the chorus joins the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra under Heyward's leadership.
