“STARS OF VIENNA AND PRAHA”  (Free Concerts)

We begin our 43rd season with comfortably classical literature from two of the greats — Mozart and Dvořák — both celebrating the cultural life of that wonderful city on the Moldau, Praha (Prague). Dvořák, of course, was Czech and lived many years in Prague. Mozart visited the city many times and a number of his most significant works were premiered in that city. Mozart loved Praha!

Wolfgang A. Mozart ~ Overture to “The Magic Flute”
Wolfgang A. Mozart ~ Clarinet Concerto in A Major, K. 622
Clarinet Soloist, Chauncey Roach
Antonín Dvořák ~ Symphony No. 8 in G Major, Opus 88

String students in the Flowing Wells High School Orchestra will join us, sitting side-by-side with our musicians in one additional work at the October 13 concert: “Danse Bacchanale” by Camille Saint-Saëns.
