Reimagining Mozart (Dunedin Arts Festival)
Reimagining Mozart - Chamber Music NZ
Robert Wiremu (Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Ngāti Porou) commemorates the tragedy of Air New Zealand Flight TE901 by reimagining Mozart’s Requiem, which was left unfinished at the time of his death in 1791.
Wiremu has imagined that one of the passengers may have had a state-of-the-art Walkman containing a recording of the Requiem. At the moment of impact, the notes are carried into the Antarctic air by the winds around Ross Island, up Mt Erebus, across from the continental mainland, and over the icebergs of the surrounding seas. Fragmented, scattered, broken, the notes are often recognisable as Mozart, but not always.
Reimagining Mozart features the internationally acclaimed Voices New Zealand Chamber Choir and a chamber ensemble of instrumentalists under the direction of Voices founder and Music Director Dr Karen Grylls.
