In a visionary work that foreshadowed Mozart's famous Requiem by more than 30 years, Gossec's
Grande messe des morts
secured its composer a celebrity status across Europe, redefining the concept of musical masses for the commemoration of the deceased. A unique blend of mass and oratorio, it combines power, solemnity, and theatricality. This remarkable piece will be presented in North America by Arion Baroque Orchestra, the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal, and five exceptional soloists under the direction of Mathieu Lussier, who is deeply passionate about this lesser-known masterpiece!
