ROMANTIC REVOLUTION
* Requiem in C Minor (1816) - Luigi Cherubini (1760-1842)

Come join conductor Murray Kidd for a talk on this extraordinary requiem at 3:30 p.m., prior to the start of the show.

The Cherubini Requiem greatly influenced Verdi, Berlioz and many of the worlds most famous composers and was originally performed in a crypt. If Beethoven had an iPod, the Cherubini Requiem would have topped his playlist.
