A requiem for Mister Rogers

A 25-piece university orchestra and 65-member choir will present the world premiere next month of an 11-movement hourlong requiem for Fred Rogers, better known as television's Mister Rogers. The work is "In Memoriam: A Requiem for Mr. Rogers," incorporating English, Hebrew and Latin lyrics, poetry and dramatic readings. . .

The first performance, by the Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania orchestra, will take place on Feb. 29 at St. Justin [in Pittsburgh].
