MUSIC W/out BORDERS: CLASSICAL CORNERSTONES

FRI 4 OCT 2019 :: St. Francis In The Fields :: Offering a virtuosic bag of tricks for a violinist, Stravinsky’s concerto, written in 1913, has a fresh delight with every page turn. This dazzling work is paired with one of only two symphonies that W.A. Mozart wrote in a minor key. The persistence of that dark tonality creates a yearning that carries through the work. One of the icons of the Classical era, Mozart’s 40^th shows the composer’s intensely expressive heart and flows from start to finish with an urgent grieving.
