TEHRAN (Honaronline) -
Iran’s Vahdat Hall is
holding a concert titled, ‘Mozart’s Requiem,’ on Wednesday in memory of the Iranian artists who died of COVID-19.
Bardia Kiaras will conduct the concert and Arsalan Kamkar, Sahar Anzali, Mehdi Qassemi, Milad Omranloo and a number of artists will accompany him at the concert.
The Requiem Mass is one of the oldest musical genres, whose origins date back to the first millennium, with the spread of Christianity and the birth of Gregorian chants in churches. When Mozart began writing his Requiem, he was therefore supported by a long tradition. In addition to Gregorian chants, one of his greatest sources of inspiration was the Requiem by Michael Haydn, younger brother of Joseph, from whom he borrowed the overall structure.
