Mozart's Requiem: A Summer Project for Students

While many of their peers are  swimming, biking, hiking or just goofing around this summer, more than three dozen high school students  from around the state have gathered in Charlottesville this week for a vocal labor of love - rehearsing and performing one of the most complex works of choral art ever.  A Mozart marathon now underway.

Judith Gary  is music director for the Virginia Consort, a singing ensemble in Charlottesville and one of five music professionals behind a remarkable summer experiment.
