CONCERT: MOZART – REQUIEM
Turku Oratorio Choir

Marraskuussa 2022 Turun Tuomiokirkossa kaikui Mozartin kuolonmessun kuoroteos. Ilme on yhdistelmä modernia ja kirkollista.

As part of the Oratorio Choir of Turku Cathedral, and therefore an eager soprano in the biannual Mozart's Requiem concert, I was commissioned to create the visual identity for the concert in year 2022. Adamant to steer away from the obvious religious signifiers without compromising the dignity and legacy the musical work most certainly deserves, I looked at experiments in sprucing up classical art pieces such as paintings and statues. The outcome is paired with an intricate and rather medieval serif arranged in a block that was also adapted into a pattern.
