Mozart Piano Concerto No. 27
Mozart Piano Concerto No. 1
Mozart Symphony No. 41, “Jupiter”

While Mozart could not have known the “Jupiter” Symphony would be his final statement in the symphonic form, audiences have marveled at its quirks and complexities for more than two centuries. He composed his 39th, 40th, and 41st symphonies in a frenetic nine-week period in 1788. Also on this program, go back to the beginning with Mozart’s First Symphony, composed at the age of 8, as well as two beloved piano concerti.
