Mozart, Prokofiev, & More

Mozart's gripping Overture to Don Giovanni opens the concert with ominous chords and cleverly placed silence, building tension before racing forward with exhilarating momentum. Prokofiev&#03's sparkling Sinfonietta follows, bursting with playful rhythms colored by the composer&#03's youthful wit and charm. The program concludes with Louise Farrenc's Symphony No. 3, an expressive work admired in her lifetime by musicians including Schumann and Berlioz for its elegant structure and dramatic range, moving between brooding drama and romantic warmth.
