Mozart's Requiem at Église Saint Louis en l'île

About the Event

Hear Mozart's Requiem performed at Église Saint Louis en l'île in Paris, under the direction of Alexandre Korovitch.

The Ensemble Hélios and the chorus Ensemble Turquoisee perform at the wonderful and historic Église Saint Louis en l'île.

A great Austrian pedagogue and student of Beethoven, Czerny was intimately passionate about Mozart's work.
Beyond the coincidence of his year of birth with that of his death, his first public concert in Vienna at the age of nine was the Piano Concerto K 491. He later transcribed several of the composer's works for piano.
In 1827, the Benedictine abbot Maximilian Stadler, himself a musician, friend of Mozart's and a great defender of the Requiem's authenticity, commissioned Czerny to write a version for piano accompaniment for four hands.
