Antonio Salieri: Overture from Les Horaces
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:
• Overture from Don Giovanni
• Concerto for Two Pianos
• Symphony No. 38, “Prague”
Experience the joy and the genius of Mozart! First, hear the dramatic, timeless Overture from Don Giovanni. Then, Halifax’s own JUNO Award-winning pianist Philip Chiu returns for another showstopping performance, this time introducing rising star Halifax pianist Devin Huang. These two dynamic soloists team up for a spectacular, once-in-a-lifetime performance of Mozart’s Concerto for Two Pianos, featuring not one but two Yamaha CFX grand pianos onstage for the first time in Symphony Nova Scotia’s history. Finally, hear Mozart’s vibrant “Prague” Symphony, brimming with warmth, colour, and emotion.
“For Mozart, finding the unwavering support, the seemingly unconditional love for his music, and a warm and welcoming crowd in the citizens of Prague must have been such a comfort and joy. Come experience this concert as Praguers did, as we pair up his famous Prague pieces, the Don GiovanniOverture and the ‘Prague’ Symphony, with a double concerto he lovingly composed for his sister.” ~Wilbur Lin, conductor
