California Symphony

MOZART SERENADES

 

Saturday, March 16 at 7:30 PM

Sunday, March 17 at 4:00 PM

The California Symphony conducted by Artistic and Music Director Donato Cabrera showcases the unique and individual sounds of woodwinds, brass, and percussion in “Mozart Serenades.” Written when he was 17-years-old, Richard Strauss’ lively Serenade opens the night of wind music. Finishing the program is Mozart’s sparkling “Gran Partita” wind serenade. In the 1984 movie Amadeus, Mozart’s rival Salieri hears the Gran Partita and famously proclaims, “It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God.” Between these two giants of the wind repertoire, the California Symphony performs the music of American maverick composer Lou Harrison.
