A Piano Celebration - by Mozart

Mozart wrote 12 piano concertos in three years, including No. 24, "an explosion of the dark, tragic, passionate emotions," according to musicologist Alfred Einstein. As with other works composed upon Mozart’s death, Haydn’s Symphony No. 98 is like "a private Requiem for his friend," according to the late music critic Michael Steinberg.

* Due to ill health, pianist/conductor Jeffrey Kahane has cancelled all his appearances this month, including this concert with the NAC Orchestra. Pinchas Zukerman has announced the following change in repertoire:
MOZART’s Symphony No. 35 in D major, K. 385, "Haffner" replaces Mozart Piano Concerto K.491
