This Friday and Saturday, the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra will be premiering their performance of Verdi Requiem.

This performance will feature Interim Principal Conductor Tania Miller, the performance features the Providence Singers (Christine Noel, Artistic Director), Laquita Mitchell (soprano), Susan Platts (mezzo-soprano), David Pomeroy (tenor), and Kevin Deas (bass).

“To perform Verdi’s Requiem is one of the most thrilling of experiences,” says conductor Tania Miller. “Few pieces in the repertoire offer the drama of opera and the thrill of wonderful symphonic writing combined with stellar, virtuosic solo moments. Verdi's Requiem does all that and more, operating on scales both intimate and grand simultaneously. That is the brilliant, theatrical magic of Verdi. As Brahms himself said, it ‘could only have been done by a genius.’”

WHEN:  Friday, May 5, at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, May 6 at 8 p.m.

WHERE: VETS Memorial Auditorium, 1 Ave of the Arts, Providence
