All About Mozart

PROGRAM:

Mozart, Horn Quintet in E-flat major, K. 407

Schnittke, Moz-Art for Two Violins

Mozart, Clarinet Quintet in A major, K. 581

We kick off our 2020 Virtual Festival At Home with a concert dedicated to Mozart, perhaps classical music’s best known composer. Mozart was a conundrum - he wrote music of exacting elegance and refinement, but personally was drawn to bawdy humor and absurdity. In this program, we feature two gorgeously composed works for winds and strings, and intersperse them with contemporary Russian composer Alfred Schnittke’s tongue-in-cheek ode to the Austrian master.
