Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wasn't ever well-behaved enough to please the church – the Archbishop of Salzburg's steward even once kicked him down the stairs – but managed to find a patron of sorts in Baron Gottfried van Swieten.

A few centuries later, the Gisborne Choral Society (GCS) announced postponement of its production of Mozart's Requiem and of the group's new patron.

The GCS plans to perform Requiem next year.
