Mozart’s </a>Requiem, to be performed by the Mahidol University Baroque Choir and Orchestra under the baton of Henri Pompidor.<br /><br />Universally recognized as one of the greatest choral masterpieces, the Requiem has long been shrouded in mystery. In July 1791, Mozart undertook the commission for an Austrian nobleman, little knowing that he was to write the requiem for himself: he died on December 5 of the same year, at the early age of 35. Inevitably, the secrecy surrounding the anonymous commission, the circumstances of Mozart's death, the unfinished state of the work, and its completion by his copyist, the composer Süssmayr, have precipitated two centuries of romantic speculation and scholarly controversy.<br /><br />The completed work follows the traditional Latin liturgy and was first performed on January 2, 1793 at a benefit concert for Mozart’s widow Constanza. Since then, it has gained tremendous recognition and has been performed at many prestigious occasions including the memorial services of Joseph Haydn, Frederic Chopin and John F. Kennedy.<br /><br />In 2002, on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks, a worldwide “Rolling Requiem” project was launched in memory of the 3,000 victims, consisting of a continuous series of performances of the Requiem, circling the earth, crossing all time zones, each beginning at 8:47 a.m. local time, thus marking the time the first plane hit the World Trade Centre.<br /><br />This masterpiece choral music will be performed at the Siam Society, 131 Soi Asoke, Sukhumvit 21, on Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 7.30 p.m. A second concert is scheduled March 18th at Assumption Cathedral Bangkok (near Oriental Hotel) at 7.30 p.m.<br /><br />For details please call The Siam Society on 02-661-6470 or Mahidol University College of Music on 02-800-2525 ext 153-4.<br /><br />For more information about this event as well as other activities and events, you may also visit<br />websites<br /><a href="http://www.siam-society.org/others/1103Mozart.html">: www.siam-society.org </a>and <a href="http://www.music.mahidol.ac.th/en/highlight.php?id=321">www.music.mahidol.ac.th</a><br /><br /><a href="http://pianosharing.blogspot.com/2009/06/wolfgang-amadeus-mozart-biography.html">http://pianosharing.blogspot.com/2009/06/wolfgang-amadeus-mozart-biography.html</a>Sasi.lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01111086485815190907noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426845143535092923.post-55339264511440965142011-02-21T20:13:00.004+07:002011-02-21T20:18:30.053+07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZUKWrNHcmks/TWJl9vlR84I/AAAAAAAABH8/yg2bRrR4EpM/s1600/navbg.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 422px; height: 99px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZUKWrNHcmks/TWJl9vlR84I/AAAAAAAABH8/yg2bRrR4EpM/s400/navbg.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576131400057353090" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>III INTERNATIONAL JEAN-MARIE LONDEIX SAXOPHONE COMPETITION</strong><br /></div><h3 align="center"> <strong>- July 4-16, 2011 -</strong><br /> <strong>__________________________</strong></h3> <h2>The deadline of registration is extended to March 1st, 2011.</h2>Informations more :<a href="http://www.music.mahidol.ac.th/jmlisc/rules-en.php">http://www.music.mahidol.ac.th/jmlisc/rules-en.php<br /></a>Sasi.lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01111086485815190907noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426845143535092923.post-84089136144215676832011-02-21T20:04:00.001+07:002011-02-21T20:06:25.712+07:00Classic Fantasy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GNJqbQtUSmQ/TWJjPL725yI/AAAAAAAABHk/3DEcow7n3yg/s1600/pre_409946cb938ccc9fdadf9e463032fe45.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 219px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GNJqbQtUSmQ/TWJjPL725yI/AAAAAAAABHk/3DEcow7n3yg/s400/pre_409946cb938ccc9fdadf9e463032fe45.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576128401191135010" border="0" /></a><br />Concerts: 25 March 2011 / 7.00 p.m. / MACM<br /> 26 March 2011 / 4.00 p.m. / MACM<br />Conductor: Gudni A.

These performances received numerous critical accolades, including the Los Angeles Times, which stated, "Romero showed an easy musicality, solid technical resources, a joy in illuminating miniatures and an unfeigned authority in this music -- in short, strong rapport with the poetic and lyric elements in the composer's art."
