All Mozart with Orli Shaham
Gérard Korsten leads the PSO in this all-Mozart program featuring gems of the composer’s collection. Referred to by The Chicago Tribune as “a first-rate Mozartean,” Orli Shaham brings her expert interpretation to Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20. At the request of his commissioners, Mozart wrote a fifteen-minute ballet to be performed within his opera Idomeneo, the music of which stands on its own as a stately example of Mozart’s best work. The program concludes with the effervescent Symphony No. 39, a classic in the repertoire.
"Her solos proved consistently well-crafted and engaging, her accompanying passages a sparkling counterpoint to the orchestral statements." - Chicago Tribune
Due to the length and type of performance, this concert is not suitable for children under the age of 5.
