National Philharmonic: All-Mozart
Saturday, March 24, 2012 at 8:00 PM
Music Center at Strathmore
Virginia Gau, conductor
| William VerMeulen, Horn |
Esther Heideman, Soprano |
Linda Maguire, Mezzo-soprano |
John Aler, Tenor |
Kevin Deas, Bass |
Assistant Conductor Victoria Gau makes her National Philharmonic debut in an
all-Mozart concert that opens with the composer's joyful and beloved
"Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" ("A Little Night Music").
The charming Horn Concerto No. 3 was written for the outstanding horn player Joseph Leutgeb,
a lifetime friend of Mozart's. Mozart's Requiem, his final and arguably greatest work
that was left unfinished at his death, has generated speculation, rumor and mystery,
beginning with melancholy fantasies of the composer himself.
It is considered one of Mozart's most profound and moving works.
- Serenade in G Major, K. 525 ("Eine Kleine Nachtmusik")
- Horn Concerto No. 3 in E-Flat Major, K. 447
- Requiem Mass in D Minor, K. 626
