George Washington Masonic National Memorial Theater

SONOVA’s season’s finale concert featured two exciting musical works: Mozart’s famous Requiem Mass in D minor, and the world premiere of an original work — “Darkness and Light,” commissioned by Jay and Jon Kurtz — written by SONOVA’s own composer-in-residence, Michael Ream.

One of the greatest masterpieces ever written, Mozart’s “Requiem in D minor” is transcendent in its power, passion, and ethereal beauty. The Symphony Orchestra of Northern Virginia and the SONOVA Chorale were led by guest conductor Andrea Vela.
