Theatrical. Mysterious. Legendary.
Mozart’s final moments are reflected through this masterpiece of drama, intensity, and depth — a work that surrounds itself with mystery and was completed by Mozart’s colleague Süssmayr. Handel’s Dixit Dominus, with its baroque effervescence, could not be more different. Mezzo-soprano Phyllis Pancella, whose voice is described as “lustrous and expressive” by the Seattle Times, makes her Society debut. This unique musical pairing of Mozart and Handel touches all emotions, creating an unforgettable close to the season. This concert will be recorded live for commercial release on the CORO label in September 2011
