The Genius of Mozart

Add to my Calendar 10-03-2023 19:30 10-03-2023 21:30 36 The Genius of Mozart Maestra Sushanskaya performs a programme entirely dedicated to the composer's genius. An early exuberant string divertimento, the eloquent and delightful concerto for flute and harp, a forbidding overture and a towering final symphony. “Mozart's joy is made of serenity, and a phrase of his music is like a calm thought; his simplicity is merely purity. It is a crystalline thing in which all the emotions play a role, but as if already celestially transposed”, so said Andre Gide. “If only I could impress Mozart's inimitable works on the soul of every friend of music, and the souls of high personages in particular, as deeply, with the same musical understanding and with the same deep feeling, as I understand and feel them, the nations would vie with each other to possess such a jewel.” Joseph Haydn St John's Smith Square, London DD/MM/YYYY

Programme Note

Maestra Sushanskaya performs a programme entirely dedicated to the composer's genius. An early exuberant string divertimento, the eloquent and delightful concerto for flute and harp, a forbidding overture and a towering final symphony.

“Mozart's joy is made of serenity, and a phrase of his music is like a calm thought; his simplicity is merely purity. It is a crystalline thing in which all the emotions play a role, but as if already celestially transposed”, so said Andre Gide.

“If only I could impress Mozart's inimitable works on the soul of every friend of music, and the souls of high personages in particular, as deeply, with the same musical understanding and with the same deep feeling, as I understand and feel them, the nations would vie with each other to possess such a jewel.” Joseph Haydn
