The Neo-Gothic splendor of the massive and celebrated Washington National Cathedral is the ideal setting for the commencement of Holy Week.
A simple visit for a tour or mass lifts the spirit and prepares the soul for the thoughtful celebration to come. And on Sunday, April 14 at 4 p.m., the experience becomes even more unforgettable and meaningful: A Palm Sunday performance of Mozart’s “Requiem.”
Mozart’s last and most poignant, heart-wrenching work is the capstone to a Palm Sunday matinee concert. The performance begins with seasonally appropriate, brooding arias and cantatas by J.S. Bach and others.
Following intermission, the ensembles will take on Mozart’s masterpiece, “Requiem,” a reflective examination of life, death and resurrection, themes that shape the Holy Week narrative.
Admission ranges from $95-$25, with $15 student tickets available. Tickets can be reserved here. The Cathedral is at 3101 Wisconsin Avenue NW.
