Join us to celebrate Mozart’s 270th birthday with a programme of works composed during the course of 1776. Mozart’s incidental music to the play Thamos, King of Egypt contains some of the most dynamic and startlingly modernistic music that he ever wrote, and the programme culminates with a symphony comprising four movements from his ‘Haffner’ Serenade – one of his earliest masterpieces, but still mysteriously neglected and undervalued. In between we present Mozart’s only concert aria for alto and an exuberantly festive symphony by Haydn.
