The Kennett Symphony of Chester County, under the direction
of Music Director & Conductor Mary Woodmansee Green, will continue their
2009-2010 season with the compelling “Mozart Requiem” on Saturday, April 24.
There will be two performances at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. in the Westminster
Presbyterian Church, located at 10 W. Pleasant Grove Rd in West Chester.

Joining the Kennett Symphony will be the renowned
Westminster Presbyterian Chancel Choir, with over 100 members, under the
direction of Robert Morris. Soloists are Ashley Fisher, soprano, Diane McCabe,
Alto, Lee Fisher, tenor, and Alex Krenz, Bass. The second in the Meet The Music
series, Maestra Mary Woodmansee Green and Westminster Presbyterian Choir
director, Bob Morris, will provide musical insights of the Mozart Requiem prior
to the performance of the piece.

The Requiem was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s last
composition, written in Vienna in 1791 during the last year of his life. It is
considered one of Mozart’s most popular and respected works, however probably no
other major musical work has generated as much mystery as surrounds the
Requiem. The circumstances of its composition are the subject of endless debate
and speculation, highlighted in the 1984 Oscar-winning film “Amadeus.” In conjunction
with the April 24 concerts, the Kennett Symphony is partnering with the Kennett
FLASH in a showing of the movie on Sunday, April 11 at 2 p.m. For more
information on the movie showing, check the FLASH website at www.kennettflash.org.

This concert is generously supported by our sponsor, Herr
Foods. Tickets are available for both the 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. concerts. Adults
are $35 and students are $10. Free parking and facilities for those with
mobility impairments are also available. For information call 610-444-6363 or
