Louis Langrée and the Festival Orchestra say goodbye to the summer with a transcendent all-Mozart program. Following the dark dirges of Meistermusik, the “brilliant” Stephen Hough (New York Times) breathes new life into the lyrical lines of one of Mozart’s most famously beautiful piano works, the Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, popularly known as “Elvira Madigan.” The evening ends with the power, fury, and spiritual ascension of the Requiem, featuring a stellar cast of soloists.
