Mozart’s Violin
Kleinhans Music Hall 3 Symphony Circle, Buffalo, NY, United StatesContinuing 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.
