Mozart Symphony 36 (“Linz”)
Mozart Symphony No. 40
Marvelous Mozart
From the extraordinary simplicity of its first movement to the brilliant energy of its bursting finale, Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 is among his most passionate statements. Mozart’s “Linz” Symphony, written in just six days in advance of a surprise concert, showcases his remarkable talent for composition. Good friend of the Orchestra and former assistant conductor Kensho Watanabe joins us for this celebration of Mozart’s dazzling symphonic works.
