PROGRAM:
- Mozart: Divertimento in B-flat major (world premiere of Robert Stallman’s

- Mozart: Concertone for Two Violins & Orchestra, K. 190 (Lucia
Lin & Peter Zazofsky)
Lucia Lin and Peter Zazofsky, the violinists of the Muir String Quartet,
collaborate with the BCO in Mozart's masterful yet seldom-heard "Grand
Concerto." In the tradition of the eighteenth-century sinfonia concertante
(concerto with multiple soloists), this work offers a rich musical landscape:
the two soloists interact as energetically with each other as they do
with the orchestra. The program opens with a "new" work by Mozart:
Robert Stallman's skillful transformation of the Sonata in C major for
piano four-hands into a Divertimento for classical orchestra. Between
these Mozart works, the orchestra presents one of Haydn’s delightful
middle-period symphonies, No 40 in F major.
Special two-for-one ticket offer available for the Friday, March 28 concert. Order here!
