I'm very excited about it. Not only does this celebration give us a chance to do a little of everything, it also lets the community see the diversity of talent we have at the U. |
Mozart was one of those composers who was successful in all genres, and we wanted to show the diversity of his music. |
The 'Three songs from the Shadow' are going to be performed by one of our really outstanding students, Tyler Nelson. Jeffrey Price will be the pianist for those, but those are really interesting and fun songs, and Tyler will do them beautifully, absolutely beautifully. |
The piano concertos contain some of his beautiful writing. |
We're actually going to be starting with Mozart's last piece. |
We've tried to combine ongoing things, such as the annual Scholarship Concert, into the Mozart concerts. |
When you think of Mozart's piano concertos, you think of them as masterpieces. He invested so much in them, since he wrote these for himself to play. |
