Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Overture to Cosí fan tutte
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Concerto No. 20 in D minor for Piano and Orchestra, K. 466
Maurice Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé
It’s always a delight when the charismatic Emanuel Ax, a frequent and favorite guest artist, makes an appearance. He returns to perform one of Mozart’s most beloved and enduring concertos before Giancarlo embarks on Ravel’s epic Daphnis et Chloé, a true symphonic showcase. Originally written as a ballet, Ravel’s impressionistic score, full of lush orchestrations and a full spectrum of colors—including a wordless chorus—is considered by many to be the composer’s crowning achievement.
