Beethoven: Grosse Fuge
Shostakovich: Cello Concerto No. 1
Mozart: Symphony No. 41, “Jupiter”
Mozart specialist Michael Francis conducts Mozart’s majestic Symphony No. 41, “Jupiter,” a stellar masterpiece that blends grace and power in Mozart’s final symphonic statement. Then TFO welcomes back soloist Maximilian Hornung for Shostakovich’s soul-stirring Cello Concerto No. 1. The concert begins with Beethoven’s Grosse Fuge, originally for string quartet, but today it symbolizes the composer’s genius at giving new life to an old form. Such a treat to hear it fleshed out in a version for orchestra.
We’re full of surprises. Every Masterworks concert has a surprise inside – a short mystery piece that connects to the program in an unexpected way. Each one is Michael Francis’ little secret.
