Orchestral Concert

Sunday, 4 August 2019
6 pm, Saanen Church

Mozart’s stay in Paris in 1778 was both tragic and brilliant. Tragic because he lost his mother there. Brilliant because he managed to get one of symphonies performed by one of the most famous local concert organisers, the Concert Spirituel.

This Symphony in D Major naturally became legendary under the title of «Paris Symphony». It represents an ideal experimental workshop for the young conductors of the Conducting Academy, as do the Flute and Harp Concerto and Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto: two masterpieces of the repertoire in which the balance between orchestra and soloists – in the present case, recent laureates of great international competitions – needs to be subtly dosed.
