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 40th shows the composer’s intensely expressive heart and flows from start to finish with an urgent grieving.
