Mozart's Requiem and remarks of remembrance at on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The Schiller Institute will present a performance of Mozart's
Requiem in D minor and remarks of remembrance at St. Mark Catholic
Church on November 22, 2013 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of
the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.  The intention of the
concert is best summed up by Kennedy's own words delivered just three
days before his death on the occasion of the centenntial of Abraham
Lincoln's Gettysburg address, "From the past, man obtains the insights,
wisdom and hope to face with confidence the uncertainties of the
future". Nothing expresses the deeper meaning of those words better than
Mozart's most beautiful final composition.  The concert will be
performed by the Schiller Institute Chorus along with an orchestra and
soloists assembled for the occasion.  The concert will begin at 8:00
p.m. and is open to the public free of charge.
