Welcome to Nelson Symphony Orchestra’s Family Matinée! performance of Mozartiana.
The whole family will enjoy this shortened concert, dedicated to the timeless beauty and enduring influence of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as celebrated through the artistry of both Mozart himself and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
The concert programme, designed with the whole family in mind, includes music from the dramatic overture to Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni, a work that has captivated audiences for centuries with its bold themes and emotional depth. We then journey into excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s Orchestral Suite No. 4, ‘Mozartiana’, a heartfelt tribute composed on the centenary of Don Giovanni. In this suite, Tchaikovsky reimagines several of Mozart’s lesser-known piano pieces, weaving them into a lush orchestral tapestry that bridges the classical and romantic eras.
The concert, presented without an intermission and lasting approximately one hour, continues with the devotional prayer ‘Ave Verum Corpus’ sung by the Nelson Civic Choir and will conclude with movements from the Symphony No. 40 in G minor – one of Mozart’s most celebrated symphonies.
Whether you are a lifelong devotee or discovering these masterpieces for the first time, we hope this concert programme entitled ‘Mozartiana’ inspires and delights.
