SPECiAL EVENTS
Delight AnD longing in MoZArt
Wednesday, May 17, 1:00–2:00pmn
We take great delight in the beauties of Mozart’s instrumental music, and often at the same time feel an indescribable longing. How does Mozart evoke these feelings without any words – but so deeply and with such “divine” perfection? In a one-hour presentation we will explore this question through close listening, with performance video clips and illustration at the piano. Our subject will be a selection from the gorgeous Gran Partita for Winds - a piece that plays a crucial role in the movie Amadeus. This presentation is intended for anyone interested in the understanding and appreciation of great music, and especially the music of Mozart. Light refreshments will be served. Please register for this free program.
