Requiem and Renewal

The Washington Chorus partners with the National Philharmonic for an evening that pairs Mozart’s monumental Requiem with the East Coast premiere of Jocelyn Hagen’s large-scale symphonic work, *What the Soul Already Knows*. The program explores themes of the sacred, the soul, and our shared humanity—Hagen’s piece, jointly commissioned by Pacific Chorale and The Washington Chorus, draws inspiration from John Philip Newell’s *Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul* and invites listeners to reflect on interconnectedness, gratitude, and unity. Mozart’s Requiem completes the meditation on life, death, and the beyond.
