Student RushPrincipal Clarinet Bharat Chandra introduces Masterworks 7: Yang Plays Mozart
Pianist Joyce Yang, a favorite of Sarasota audiences, returns to our stage as soloist in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24. One of Mozart’s most striking concertos, the work rolls with a stormy turbulence. Yang is joined by Austrian conductor Katharina Wincor, who makes her Sarasota Orchestra debut. The program also features Dvořák’s popular Symphony No. 8, a tribute to the composer’s beloved Bohemia translated into sonic terrain filled with birdsong, rustling leaves, and folk dances. Sarasota native Roger Zare named his ten-minute NEOWISE after the comet that flared across our skies in 2020.
