La Bernardinia: Italo-Britannici

Featuring guest fortepianist Sylvia Berry, this program explores Mozart’s orchestral music in arrangements sanctioned by himself or fashioned by his student Hummel. On this intimate scale, the works’ conversational, sociable nature is especially apparent. We pair the Mozart overture and concerto with one of Carl Philipp Emanuel’s last compositions, a quartet with a similarly conversational idiom that suggests his awareness of musical developments in Vienna.
