MOZART Symphony No. 40 in G minor

One of Mozart’s three remarkable final symphonies — his “Triple Crown” — the 40th speaks in his most personal voice. This utterance of extreme urgency is full of agitation with only a slim respite in the exquisite, spiritual slow movement. Nearly 250 years after its completion, it still has a profound emotional impact on audiences. DSO’s Principal Clarinet Gregory Raden gives the world premiere of Dallas-based composer Jon Cziner’s concerto. Music Director Luisi also leads the world premiere of a new work by Jasmine Guo, a film and contemporary concert composer and classical pianist. It’s part of a 30-orchestra consortium performing works commissioned by the Toulmin Foundation Orchestral Commissions Program for women composers.
