Giuseppe Verdi Requiem

As recognizable as Carmina Burana’s "O Fortuna," the apocalyptic "Dies Irae" of Verdi's Requiem has been featured in many a big and small screen application, and was cited by Arthur C. Clarke in his seminal "2001: A Space Odyssey." The forces of the HHSO, HHSO Chorus, Claflin University Concert Choir, and Savannah VOICE Festival reunite for presentations of this powerful work.
