Associate Concertmaster Charlotte Scott joins us for an evening of Mozart, this time the composer’s Violin Concerto No. 3 – a score characterised by grace and charm, until it tears into an Alsatian dance at the end. Before it we hear Mozart channelling the spirit of Turkey in one of his most characterful opera overtures, while afterward comes the Mozart symphony in which everything changed. The first of his final symphonic trilogy is a work from which the brooding opening spills music of the most infectious joy. Marios Papadopoulos and the Orchestra return to the Sheldonian Theatre for this celebration of the genius and joy of Mozart.
