PROGRAM: Click for Program Notes
  • Mozart: Divertimento in B-flat major (world premiere of Robert Stallman’s transcription of Mozart’s piano duet, K. 358)
  • Haydn: Symphony No. 40 in F major
  • 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.

"…sumptuous tone, exhilarating involvement, and extraordinary unanimity of purpose." The Boston Globe
