The four movements of Symphony No. 39 are marked by Mozart’s brilliant orchestration, melody, and structure. The first movement is one of his most famous, the second a soulful melody played by the strings, the third a lively dance-like rhythm, and the fourth a grand finale full of energy and joy. It is a beloved work that has captivated audiences for centuries. This concert also features Mozart’s lively, lyrical Bassoon Concerto – a piece that highlights the bassoon’s unique sound and technical capabilities, showcasing the tremendous skill and virtuosity of our own Principal Bassoon Gabe Azzie – and the bright, jovial Symphony No. 2 by Mozart’s contemporary Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges.

Magnificent Mozart

Dalhousie University

Hear a lively concert of showpieces performed by your own Symphony Nova Scotia musicians! Conducted by Music Director Holly Mathieson, this spotlight on the Symphony highlights the virtuosic chops of our wonderful wind principals Danielle Johannes, Timothy Yung, Gabe Azzie, and Carys Sutherland, and our very own Concertmaster Renaud Lapierre. Mozart’s Sinfonia concertante is the perfect platform for bright, vivid colours from our woodwind musicians, while Renaud brings his crystalline technique to Vasks’ distinctive and achingly beautiful Distant Light.
