Beethoven and Mozart
November 22 – 24, 2024
FABIO LUISI conducts
FRANCESCA DEGO violin
BEETHOVEN Violin Concerto in D Major
MOZART Symphony No. 41, “Jupiter”
Two favorites of classical music await you at this concert, masterfully led by Music Director Fabio Luisi. Fellow-Italian, violinist Francesca Dego, joins him and the DSO for Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, a magisterial creation of dramatic impact some violinists have dubbed their “Mount Everest.” Scaling this musical mountain lets performers reveal their emotional depth in lyrical passages and their technical mastery in high-voltage fireworks. Mozart’s regal “Jupiter” Symphony, aptly named for the king of the gods, with drums and trumpets lending a stately feel, set a crown upon the composer’s symphonic output.
Join us for a special pre-concert talk with Assistant Conductor Shira Samuels-Shragg! The talks will take place from Horchow Hall starting at 6:30pm on Friday and Saturday and 2:00pm on Sunday.
