‘Mozart and Schoenberg’

Al and Leigh Buettner Signature Series presents, the Philharmonic’s ‘Mozart and Schoenberg’ in celebration of October is Arts Month. Mozart’s brightly-lit Symphony 39 was the first of his final symphonies near the end of his young life. An astonishing work, it shows Amadeus ahead of his time with a feeling of perpetual motion and melody. Arnold Schoenberg’s brilliant score for his Chamber Symphony achieves something remarkable: a hugely expressive experience using a small body of musicians and in a single movement! Two composers – Mozart and Schoenberg – each ahead of their time. Thomas Wilson will be conducting. Tickets start at $28. Discounts available. • Oct 8, 2022 at 07:30 pm (Sat) • Oct 9, 2022 at 02:30 pm (Sun) Kids get in free - “Free for Kids” offers young audiences an invitation to hear the Philharmonic perform live, in a true concert setting.
