Payare Conducts Mozart’s Great Mass in C Minor
2026-2027In the Great Mass in C minor, Mozart transforms love into a creative necessity. It was for Constance, then recovering, that he undertook this work of intimate devotion—a vast musical cathedral where spiritual fervor mingles with the most ardent human impulse. The Gloria, with its monumental architecture, seems to thank life for restoring her to him, while the Kyrie bears the gravity of a heart that brushed against loss. Every page breathes transfigured passion, inner ardor, and a quest for consolation. Completing this all-Mozart evening are two gems: the nocturnal elegance of Eine kleine Nachtmusik and the jubilant brilliance of Exsultate, jubilate. Rafael Payare invites us to rediscover three faces of a genius who embraced everything: contemplation, celebration, and grace.
A great classic of the repertoire that takes you on an emotional journey.
