Buffalo Music – Mozart’s Violin
Continuing our Mozart Festival, enjoy works by two peers: Joseph Bologne’s jaunty Symphony No. 2 and Maria Theresia von Paradis’s Overture to The School Candidate, her sole surviving orchestral piece, in commedia dell’arte form. Mozart’s five violin concertos, composed in 1775, culminate in a Fifth that is imaginative and technically challenging. The fiery “Haffner” Symphony, honoring a former Salzburg patron, is bold and regal.

Buffalo Music – Mozart’s Mass
Our Mozart Festival opens with the “Prague” Symphony No. 38, composed on the heels of The Marriage of Figaro’s tremendous success. Rich in complex subtleties and lyrical sophistication, it spans a full spectrum of emotion. Mozart’s unfinished “Great” Mass in C minor—his most exalted and personal work—was deeply influenced by the Baroque traditions of Bach and Handel. Its original movements journey from somber to soaring, with later 20th-century revisions completing the piece.
