No other composer exemplifies Mozart’s ability to communicate simultaneously on both a surface and profound level. This was true during his lifetime, and two centuries later, it remains so — his music transcending culture and geography to resonate with listeners around the world. The ACO’s Opening Night program vividly illustrates the paradox of Mozart’s genius in two masterpieces from different periods of his life.
Festive music commissioned for a high-profile Salzburg wedding and Mozart’s best-loved piano concerto, popularized in the Swedish film Elvira Madigan. Young Italian virtuoso Christian De Luca makes his Lincoln Center debut.
