Mozart’s “Jupiter” Symphony No. 41

NOV 3 – 5

Boettcher Concert Hall

WAGNER | Siegfried Idyll
SIBELIUS | Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47
MOZART | Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551, "Jupiter"

Lead by internationally renowned conductor Markus Stenz, this convivial concert brims with music as a celebration of life. Mozart’s final Symphony No. 41—also known as “Jupiter”—is jubilant and vibrantly atmospheric, and was deemed by Woody Allen as something that makes “life worth living.” Wagner drew upon birdsong and sunrise to honor the birth of his son and namesake of the bucolic Siegfried Idyll. Plus, violinist Karen Gomyo takes the stage to glorify Sibelius’ decadent and gleaming Violin Concerto in D minor.
