The genius of forever-young insouciance staring into his own grave? That’s the monumental paradox emanating from Mozart’s “Requiem.” He died before he could finish the work, which he had promised for another dying man.
The UW Choral Union and Chamber Orchestra and director Beverly Taylor will resurrect this dark transcendence at 8 tonight and Saturday in Mills Hall, 455 Park St. Karol Szymanowski’s “Stabat Mater” also is on the program.
