FREE CONCERT– TO HONOR JOHN F. KENNEDY: 100 MEMBER CHORUS - FULL ORCHESTRA PERFORMING MOZART'S REQUIEM AT THE CATHEDRAL OF THE HOLY CROSS IN BOSTON, MA.

The Schiller Institute will present Mozart's Requiem in D minor (K.626), at the natural "Verdi tuning". This music and remarks of remembrance of John F. Kennedy at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston, MA on Sunday January 19, 2014, 3 PM takes place on the 50th anniversary of the 1964 performance of Mozart's Requiem and pontifical mass for John F. Kennedy held at the Cathedral on January 19th, 1964.  The intention of the concert is best summed up by Kennedy's own words delivered just three days before his death on the occasion of the centennial of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg address, "From the past, man obtains the insights, wisdom and hope to face with confidence the uncertainties of the future." Nothing expresses the deeper meaning of those words better than Mozart's most beautiful final composition.  The concert will be performed by a 100 member extended Schiller Institute Chorus along with a full orchestra and soloists assembled for the occasion, at the "Verdi" tuning of A=432 Hz.  The concert will begin at 3:00 p.m. and is open to the public free of charge. Info: (617) 340-6544.  requiemconcert@schillerinstitute.org
