Heyward Conducts Verdi’s Requiem
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra brings Giuseppe Verdi’s 1874 Requiem to the Music Center at Strathmore under the baton of Music Director Jonathon Heyward. This monumental setting of the Catholic Mass for the Dead is notable for its operatic intensity and theatrical momentum, qualities that Verdi carried from his opera career into the sacred text. Rather than a purely solemn liturgical work, the Requiem unfolds as a continuous large-scale arc filled with dramatic contrast, vivid orchestral color, and choral power. Heyward leads the performance on Sunday afternoon, June 13, 2027, at the Strathmore venue in North Bethesda, Maryland.
The concert is presented as part of the Symphony at Six Series, which frames the musical experience as an elevated evening tailored to busy schedules and discerning tastes. According to the series description, ticket holders enjoy a pre-concert gathering and a post-concert AfterWords conversation with Music Director Jonathon Heyward, leaving room for dinner or other evening plans. The exact on-sale pricing for this particular Strathmore performance is not stated in the available material, and no specific run time, age policy, or accessibility details are listed on the source page.
