An Unfinished Requiem for An Unfinished Life By all accounts, life was cut short for soloist, conductor and composer Jason Miller who died in an automobile accident late last year. The 36-year-old was a rising star in the Bay area’s classical/choral scene, and on Monday the combined choruses of St. Petersburg College and the chamber orchestra of the College’s faculty and friends will band together under Dr. Matt Caine for a performance of Mozart’s Requiem. The symbolism won’t be lost on classical buffs, but the uninitiated should know that Mozart never got to finish the piece since he, too, died in his mid-30s. “Mozart’s colleague, Franz Xaver Süssmayr, completed the unfinished Requiem,” it says in material previewing this show. “Similarly, as musicians and friends of Miller, we seek to continue the unfinished work of his life through this performance.” (Hough Hall at Palladium Theater, St. Petersburg) INFO
