Verdis requiem
Jönköpings Sinfonietta
Giuseppe Verdi's magnificent Requiem is a personal monument to a departed friend. In Kristine Church, the music is given a contemporary framing in the form of stories based on experiences from people in Jönköping County. Many of us have experienced losing someone. Some of us have been close to death ourselves. How do we move forward in the toughest moments, and can we together find ways to cope with life's transience?
“The dramatized version of Verdi's Requiem in Kristine Church offers a flow of music and stories. The concept of making something more out of a musical work celebrates triumphs….” (Rikard Flyckt, Jönköpingsposten)
