Event Description:
Mozart's Jupiter Symphony, the capstone of his symphonic journey, soars into the heavens, exuding such grandeur and cheery nobility that someone named it after the king of the gods. Russian violinist Alina Ibragimova turns her fiery bow on Mozart's "Turkish" Concerto, so named for the composer's take on Turkish melodies. "Ibragimova has technique to burn," wrote Audiophilia. Guest conductor Jörg Widmann offers a lively opener with his own composition Con brio, "with spirit."
