9. SCO 24/25: Mozart Sinfonia Concertante
Leader of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe since 2008, Lorenza Borrani made a big impression directing Beethoven at her SCO debut last Season. She and SCO Principal Viola Max Mandel take to the spotlight in what many consider Mozart’s finest creation: the Sinfonia Concertante, K364. The composer no doubt had himself in mind for one of the piece’s solo parts, and the music’s elegant refinement conceals deep emotions of melancholy and joy.
