Classic Constellations - Saint Paul

First Mainstage Concert
In our opening concert, we spotlight brilliant composers of Mozart’s era, who illuminated different corners of Europe’s musical scene. Thomas Linley’s Overture to The Duenna and his Violin Concerto reveal a gifted young composer, whose life was tragically cut short, yet whose talent was deeply cherished by his friend Mozart. Chevalier de St George’s remarkable life and career shines through his delightful Symphony in G, whilst Mozart’s Divertimento in F offers a moment of pure joy and grace before we embark on a rather extraordinary journey at the end of the programme with Kraus’ Symphony in C minor, a powerful and dramatic work that offers depth and intensity, bringing this constellation of geniuses to a stirring close.
