Mozart's Requiem On Wednesday's Access Utah

Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre

American Festival Chorus and Orchestra (AFCO) is performing the Mozart Requiem this weekend. Craig Jessop, Director of AFCO and Gary Griffin, Managing Director of Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theater (UFOMT) will join us in-studio to talk about Mozart, the Requiem, and performing arts as we come out of the pandemic.

This is AFCO’s first live performance following the pandemic and it is a benefit concert for UFOMT and a memorial to all Utahns who have lost their lives to COVID. We’ll hear excerpts from the Requiem during the hour.
