2011 Concerts

You will find Mozart Tempest in the City of Eternal Storms where the force of a raging storm and an orchestral sound of incredible power will leave you breathless.

In this City, the air is filled with the musical downpour of a virtuoso on fortepiano before his notes are swept up in the awe-inspiring grandeur of a stormy symphony.

In the City of Eternal Storms the first thing you will hear is the thunderous overture to Betulia Liberata, a grand opening to a story of siege and high drama, written by a 15 year old…Mozart.

From the melodious tones of a Mozart Piano Concerto to his electrifying Symphony No 25, this is music to stir the soul.

Mozart Tempest –
A gorgeous collection of sublime and stormy classical music on period instruments.
