The Ages of Mozart: Angela Hewitt and LMP
Friday 08 November 2024
7:30 pm - 9:45 pm
Mozart didn’t spend his 35-year-long life twiddling his thumbs. In fact, he wrote over 200 hours of music; that’s more than a solid week of back-to-back Mozart.
This concert won’t be a week long (thankfully), but it will be a whistle-stop tour of Mozart’s career, providing snapshots of how the musical legend came to be.
On the tour you’ll hear everything from Mozart’s very first symphony – an impressive feat for an 8-year-old by any standards – to one of his last, his No.36 ‘Linz’. Say a prayer for the musicians during this finale; adrenaline-junkie Mozart instructs them to ‘play as fast as possible’. World-leading concert pianist Angela Hewitt performs Mozart’s ‘Jeunehomme’ piano concerto – a technically wicked piece written in his early twenties.
Programme to include:
Mozart – Symphony No.1 in E flat Major, K16
Mozart – Piano Concerto No.9 in E flat Major, K271 ‘Jeunehomme’
Mozart – Symphony No.36 in C Major, K425 ‘Linz’
