Join the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra for a splendid evening celebrating "Mozart's Birthday Party" on January 25, 2025, at 7:30 PM. This special event, part of the Classics 3 series, will take place at the prestigious Jack Singer Concert Hall. It's not just any birthday celebration; it's a double festivity honoring both the Music Director Rune Bergmann and the legendary Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The evening promises an exquisite lineup featuring Mozart’s Symphony No. 38, known for its imaginative sophistication, followed by the Mass in C Major, one of the composer's finest masses. This piece, celebrated for its grand orchestration and bright character, became a sensation in Prague during the coronation festivities of Leopold II in 1791. This performance is a collaboration with One Yellow Rabbit as part of the High Performance Rodeo, ensuring an unforgettable experience.

The concert will showcase the talents of conductor Rune Bergmann, soprano Mireille Asselin, mezzo-soprano Lillian Brooks, tenor John Tessier, and baritone Stephen Hegedus, alongside the Calgary Philharmonic Chorus and Orchestra. 

Ticket prices range from $30 to $90, offering various seating options to accommodate all attendees. Make sure to arrive early at 6:35 PM for the Pre-Concert chat in the lobby, enhancing your concert experience with insightful discussions about the evening's program.
