Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 4: Masterworks

Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 4: Masterworks

The Florida Orchestra welcomes back former resident conductor Thomas Wilkins to conduct Mozart’s sunny and lyrical Violin Concerto No. 4, featuring Vadim Gluzman. The beloved maestro also will take audiences to the famous Fountains of Rome by Respighi and On the Waterfront Symphonic Suite by Leonard Bernstein. Kicking off the concert is Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres), which composer Missy Mazzoli describes as “music in the shape of a solar system, a collection of rococo loops that twist around each other within a larger orbit.”

Please note: The conductor for this program has changed.

Bonus! For every Masterworks concert, Michael Francis has personally chosen a surprise “mystery piece” to enhance the live experience. What will it be this weekend?

Classical Kids & Teens: Kids and teens ages 5-18 get in free to all Masterworks concerts with Classical Kids tickets, thanks in part to the generous support of an anonymous donor. At least one paying adult purchase is required per order, and other restrictions apply. These tickets are available in advance only through The Florida Orchestra Ticket Center.

Concierto para Violín Numero 4 de Mozart

El nuevo y emocionante director musical de la Sinfónica de Baltimore, Jonathon Heyward, que ya está ganando elogios en todo el mundo, se une a TFO para dirigir el Concierto para Violín Numero 4 de Mozart, con Vadim Gluzman. Llevará al público a las famosas Fuentes de Roma de Respighi y a la Suite sinfónica On the Waterfront de Leonard Bernstein. El inicio del concierto es Sinfonia para Orbiting Spheres, que la compositora Missy Mazzoli describe como “música en forma de sistema solar, una colección de bucles rococó que se retuercen entre sí dentro de una órbita más grande”.

¡”Prima – Bonus”! Para cada concierto de Masterworks, Michael Francis ha elegido personalmente una “pieza misteriosa” sorpresa para mejorar la experiencia en vivo. ¿Qué será este fin de semana?
