SSO Chamber Music: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to Thomas Adès
$45
Erwin Schulhoff — Concertino for Flute, Viola, and Double Bass
Thomas Adès — Alchymia (for clarinet & ensemble)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart — String Quartet No. 22 in B-flat major K. 589 "Prussian"
Schulhoff's Concertino sings with humor belying its composer's tragic story, a victim of the Holocaust. Emerging composer August Baik brings a new piece. Adès' Alchymia meditates on Elizabethan England's fascination with alchemy. Our series culminates with Mozart at his most sublime, the second "Prussian" Quartet.
