“If you want to hear perfection, this is it,” says Music Director Peter Oundjian of Mozart’s final concerto, performed here by rising star pianist Albert Cano Smit, winner of the 2019 Young Concert Artists International Auditions and the 2017 Walter W. Naumburg Piano Competition. Mozart is at his most majestic and most beautiful in his Symphony No. 39. Andrew Grams conducts this all-Mozart program, which begins with a dark and intense serenade for winds.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, conductor Ryan Bancroft is unable to visit the Festival this summer. Andrew Grams will conduct this program; all repertoire remains the same. This concert previously experienced a change of guest artist; Albert Cano Smit now performs in place of Simone Dinnerstein.
