The late symphonies of Mozart are a touchstone for extraordinary musicians and experiencing the ACO perform them is an unforgettable experience. Richard Tognetti played the last three symphonies in his first year as Artistic Director of the ACO, and he returns to them often because they are works that only grow with each interpretation.

Mozart’s Last Symphonies

ACO On The Pier

Mozart’s “Eline kliene Nachtmusik” (A Little Night Music) is one of the most famous classical works of all time. The string ensemble’s striking opening notes are instantly recognizable. The “Mannheim Rocket” theme transforms into elegant melodies that serenade the soul. Mozart’s Concerto for Flute and Harp showcases different instrumental personalities between the flute and harp, bringing them together in a beautifully harmonious and complementary manner. LSO Principal Flutist Kim Hudson and Principal Harpist Rachel Mazzucco feature their virtuosic skills in this effervescent double concerto.

Conducting the concert is Eduardo Strausser: this Brazilian conductor, music director of the Norrlandsoperan Symphony Orchestra in Sweden, has already collaborated with prestigious ensembles, including the Orchestre National Montpellier Occitanie. The concert opens with Lumina by Nina Shekhar, an American composer born in 1995, who explores the contrasts between light and darkness, between vibrant timbres and opaque textures – a tribute to light. Next comes the young South Korean prodigy Sarang Seohyun Kim, the youngest laureate, at 14 years old, of the Tibor Varga International Competition. She performs Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3 , a luminous work of radiant classicism. Finally, Prokofiev's Symphony No. 7 (1952) offers a farewell imbued with gentle melancholy, in which the Russian composer tenderly revisits classical forms. From Mozart to the present day, a program that celebrates musical heritage in all its diversity.

Angela Hewitt, praised by the Guardian for the ‘wonderfully controlled expressive focus’ of her artistry, and members of the Dunedin Consort form an ideal partnership with an enchanting programme to match. The Canadian pianist, having given her first UK performance on fortepiano at Wigmore Hall in 2024, returns to the instrument for two contrasting concertos, the first an emotionally stormy work from the mid-1740s, the second being one of Mozart’s most intimate compositions for keyboard and ensemble.

Back after 12 years, Opera San Jose builds a new production of Don Giovanni, Mozart’s dark psychological thriller. Seduction, rebellion, and supernatural justice collide in a thrilling look at a notorious libertine’s downfall. The production follows a charismatic anti-hero who pursues pleasure without remorse, leaving a trail of broken hearts and vengeful spirits in a world re-examining the limits of entitlement. Maria Brea returns as the cheated and furious Donna Elvira, with Jonghyun Park as the naive, well-intentioned Don Ottavio. Music Director Joseph Marcheso and stage director Alek Schrader collaborate to bring this visceral inquiry into power and conscience to the heart of Silicon Valley.

On the ruins of an old prison, Persada seeks the truth about her mother, "the woman who sings", whose love once defied the tyrant Soliman. In this singspiel composed in 1780, the young Mozart voices his aspirations to freedom and justice, foreshadowing The Abduction from the Seraglio. Raphaël Pichon and Pygmalion bring Zaïde together with other rarely performed works in a humanist fresco created in Salzburg in 2025.

Mozart was just 14 years old when he wrote this rare gem that has all the hallmarks of musical brilliance and hormonal adolescence. Angst, risky behavior, and fraught romance never sounded quite so good. Opera Philadelphia’s first production of Mitridate, re di Ponto stars blockbuster tenor Lawrence Brownlee as the titular king, alongside countertenor and OP General Director & President Anthony Roth Costanzo as his eldest son, Farnace, and soprano Meredith Wohlgemuth as the younger son, Sifare. Glittering soprano Lauren Snouffer portrays Aspasia, the woman all three love.

The rays of sun chase night away.” If there is an opera for everyone, an opera about the very essence of life, it’s The Magic Flute. For the first time since 2015, Iván Fischer will once again bring to the stage Mozart’s philosophical tale, where good and bad, light and darkness, right and wrong, courage and fear, wisdom and superstition, vengeance and mercy are juxtaposed. The opera, which is Mozart’s last work for the stage, is an initiation ceremony and a moral tale about the journey to adulthood. “It’s an inscrutable work of magical power,” says Fischer, who is particularly awed by the opera’s optimism, humor, playfulness, fairy tale-like quality, deep humanism, or, in a single word, complexity. The international cast includes Mozart specialists from the world’s leading opera houses, several of whom are already familiar to the BFO’s audiences.

After the opera, guests of the BFO and Müpa Budapest are invited to an informal gathering to meet the artists and creators participating in the performance. Selfies allowed! Gone will be the distance between stage and audience, and art will become tangible. An evening of connections and once-in-a-lifetime encounters.

Festive radiance, symphonic solemnity and challenging virtuosity maintain a perfect balance in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano Concerto in C major. The work opens the concert given by the Staatskapelle Berlin conducted by Christian Thielemann which features a benchmark interpretation by the legendary pianist Rudolf Buchbinder who can look back on a career of more than 60 years. The second half is devoted to Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4 whose sonorous natural idylls including the “song of the great tit Zizipe” (Bruckner) communicate a “religious and mysterious Romanticism à la Lohengrin” in the words of the composer.

A rare dialogue between two instruments, between Baroque virtuosity and the complicity of the soloists. Mendelssohn then unfolded the legend of La Belle Mélusine , a fairy-tale overture with melodious waves. Ravel, with his Menuet antique , revived the grace of a bygone era, while Debussy, in Nuages ​​(from the Nocturnes ), suspended the sky in its luminous grays. As a grand finale, Mozart's "Haffner" Symphony burst forth in vibrant fanfares and majestic dances. A night of stars, breaths, and strings.

Mention Mozart’s G minor Symphony, and you tend to think of the “Great” one that belongs to the middle of his legendary final symphonic trilogy — the one that opens with a motif that has even had an afterlife as a mobile ringtone. But there is also the “Little” G minor: a youthful, wild work by the 17-year-old Mozart that is driven by an expression of unbridled fury and sharp dynamic contrasts — the very embodiment of Sturm und Drang. With the Ossetian conductor Tugan Sokhiev on the podium, the Vienna Philharmonic will reveal this “other” Mozart, who was anything but delicate rococo. They will then unleash the storms of life and love with Gustav Mahler’s autobiographically inspired First Symphony. Sokhiev holds a special affection for Mahler’s debut symphony and finds it distinctly dramatic: “For me, Mahler is always a man of the theater,” he says. “He had specific images in mind as he composed. Close your eyes in the first movement and you feel as though you’re standing in the middle of nature. The third movement, with its procession of animals that don’t quite know whether they’re celebrating the hunter’s death or mourning it, is full of irony. And in the finale, life triumphs.

With The Magic Flute, Mozart wanted to write a piece for everyone – the blend of Viennese folk theater, Singspiel, and Italian opera makes it a favourite with audiences to this day. There's something for every taste, from catchy songs and arias to humorous spoken dialogue and fairytale elements. Günter Krämer’s production creates two contrasting worlds: the realm of the Queen of the Night and the temple of the Sun King. Between them travels Prince Tamino, accompanied by the bird catcher Papageno. On their adventurous journey, they traverse primeval forests inhabited by lions, rhinoceroses and snakes. Mozart’s opera imaginatively invites reflection on good and evil, dreams, fears and love. The lovingly crafted, partly mechanical set design creates stage magic. Renowned Mozart interpreter Tomáš Netopil conducts the Deutsche Oper Berlin orchestra. Our ensemble of soloists will enchant with their joy in acting and singing.

An evening in the company of WA Mozart is an evening that enriches the soul to the very core of its DNA. In Mozart we find playful lightness and refined elegance in such abundance that we can hardly comprehend it – and then also the gravitas and emotional weight that comes from having been a professional musician and a sparkling genius since he learned to walk. Mozart loved the clarinet's dark-colored cousin, the basset horn, and tonight we will enjoy the fourth of his five moody divertimenti for three basset horns. Mozart's otherworldly beautiful quintet for piano and winds also dates from the first half of the 1780s, which he himself described in a letter to his father as "the best thing I have written in my life".

It’s not often you get to hear music written for two pianos – or rarer still, four hands playing the same piano. You need two musicians totally in synch, so deeply connected that they know each other’s every thought and gesture.

The Chamber Music Society of Fort Worth (CMSFW) is dedicated to presenting superior chamber music experiences through education, outreach, and performances that inspire, uplift, and connect with our community. Since its first performances in 1989, CMSFW has made an important contribution to the vibrant performing arts scene in Fort Worth and North Texas. At the beginning of the Society, an ensemble of local artists worked with guest artists from around the country, and from around the world, to present seven concerts each season. A variety of local venues were used for the performances, starting with the Kimbell Art Museum, the Texas Boys Choir Building, and the McDavid Studio at Bass Hall. For the last eleven seasons, the concerts have taken place in the Auditorium of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Many of our prominent guest artists have been drawn from the ranks of the finalists in the Van Cliburn Piano Competition, and have often returned several times to perform at our concerts.

Antonio Lucio Vivaldi certainly had no idea that almost three centuries later he would still be one of the most famous composers in the history of music. The successor of the masters of composition of the so-called Venetian school, music teacher and concertmaster in the prestigious orchestra of the Venetian girls' orphanage Ospedale della Pietá, and a renowned instrumentalist throughout Europe, he created over three and a half hundred instrumental concertos. The orchestra of the institution financed by the Venetian Republic was obliged to perform at masses and religious and secular celebrations, several times a month, which is why Vivaldi's creative period was unusually fruitful. Evil tongues claim that he copied individual compositions himself. The largest part of them is, of course, intended for the violin. They demonstrate an exceptionally rich melodic invention and Vivaldi's great feeling for the character of instrumental stylization.

Mozart’s illustrious operatic oeuvre is rounded off by a work providing both copious entertainment and food for thought, affording a fantastic spectacle and presenting a magical ritual of initiation of the human spirit. All that is encompassed in Die Zauberflöte, and all that can be found in Vladimír Morávek’s colourful production, featuring a thrilling atmosphere and teeming with mysterious symbols. There is something for everyone – adults and children, including, if fear hasn’t consumed them, the very youngest.

A true legend will take the stage with the Budapest Festival Orchestra. The grande dame of the piano, the “priestess of art,” Elisabeth Leonskaja, who won the Lifetime Achievement Award of the International Classical Music Awards (ICMA) in 2020, used to perform in duo with Sviatoslav Richter while conquering the world’s most prestigious concert halls. This time, she will perform one of Mozart’s most popular and grandiose piano concertos, and the only one concluding in a minor key. This piece will be framed in a special manner. The concert will open with music by Schubert, who, in addition to inventing the genre of German songs – writing more than 600 of them –, after six symphonies arrived at an entirely new orchestral language, even if the piece ultimately remained unfinished. Relationships between men and women will take center stage after the intermission. The music of Bartók’s pantomime, The Miraculous Mandarin, will come to life through a storyline that explores questions of body and soul.
