" Since death is, strictly speaking, the true end of life, I have over the last few years become so familiar with this true and best friend of man that its image is no longer terrifying to me, but rather soothing and comforting. " / Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

He lived strong and died young. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the musical genius whose name is known the world over. He was just 35 years old when his life ended. In the middle of life, but also in the middle of one of his greatest works: Mozart's legendary Requiem . A tribute to life and to death.

Based on Mozart's Requiem , Copenhagen Phil's fourth Decisive Moments concert performance revolves around the ultimate decisive moment in every person's life: Death.

“Da døden, strengt taget, er livets sande endemål, har jeg gennem de sidste par år gjort mig så fortrolig med denne menneskets sande og bedste ven, at dens billede ikke længere er skrækindjagende for mig, men snarere beroligende og trøstende.” / Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Han levede stærkt og døde ung. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, det musikalske geni, hvis navn er kendt verden over. Blot 35 år var han, da hans liv sluttede. Midt i livet, men også midt i et af sine største værker: Mozarts legendariske Requiem. En hyldest til livet og til døden.

Med udgangspunkt i Mozarts Requiem kredser Copenhagen Phils fjerde Afgørende øjeblikke-koncertforestilling om det ultimative afgørende øjeblik i ethvert menneskes liv: Døden.
