Orchestra Lumos – Mozart’s Extraordinary Summer

Even for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, famously prolific as he was, the summer of 1788 was the backdrop for an extraordinary burst of creativity and imagination which produced so much masterful music it not only defies explanation, but is too extensive to represent in only one program. In this concert, we will play some of the music which then set the stage for the mighty Symphony No. 41, his last, that would come just a few weeks later — and which we will present in our next season, as we present in two parts “The Birth of Jupiter”. This first installment brings the two symphonies Nos. 39 and 40, which preceded the “Jupiter” symphonies by just a few weeks, together with another great work from that busy summer, the Adagio and Fugue for Strings.
