Year of the Violin: Mozart 5th Concerto, Copland, Schubert
With strains of jazz and pop songs, Aaron Copland’s Music for the Theatre opens this concert. Karen Johnson, the second of our concertmaster candidates, performs Mozart’s Violin Concerto no.5, the so-called Turkish concerto. And, we close with one of the most simple and beautiful gems in our repertoire.
