Elegance, History, and a kapuziner. Step into the salons of Vienna, where composers shaped generations of music. The afternoon begins with a hidden gem: Marianna Martines’ Sinfonia in C. A friend of Haydns and an extremely prolific composer in her time, Martines was one of the few women to compose symphonies in 18th-century Vienna—and her music bursts with elegance, vitality, and charm. Next comes a piece woven into CSO’s own history: Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony, the very first symphony performed by the orchestra in 1934. Mysterious, lyrical, and open-ended, it invites reflection—not just on what’s left unsaid, but on where we’ve come from.
The concert concludes with W.A. Mozart’s Symphony No. 38, "Prague", a triumphant and richly textured masterpiece filled with dramatic contrasts, intricate counterpoint, and radiant brilliance. Together, these works promise an unforgettable celebration of musical genius and innovation.
What to expect:
- The first Viennese School, in all its charm.
- A close-up musical experience in an intimate setting.
- European charm in a familiar environment
