The Golden Hornet Project presents: AMADEUS

Golden Hornet Project (GHP) has launched a project to complete Mozart's unfinished Requiem, in collaboration with composers from the rock, hip-hop, video game and avant-garde music scenes. To support this monster project, which will be completed and presented to the public in 2014, we are hosting a series of screenings of the film AMADEUS over the next two years. Each screening will include a live choral performance of The Requiem work in progress performed by members of Texas Choral Consort with GHP co-artistic directors Peter Stopschinski and Graham Reynolds in attendance. Based on the stage play by Peter Shaffer, AMADEUS tells the tale of Salieri, a famous composer who is tormented and ultimately goes mad because of his jealousy of the infinitely more talented Mozart. His utter mediocrity when compared to Mozart is too much to bear, and Salieri hatches a plan to kill the brilliant composer.
