2024-2025 Masterworks Concert Series Spring Concert – Denver

2024-2025 Season Masterworks Concert Series

Spring Concert

Denver Performance

Immerse yourself in the radiant world of Mozart! ECO will present an all-Mozart program that celebrates the composer’s unparalleled genius for our Spring Concert.

Experience the fun, light-hearted spirit of Mozart with the Overture to The Marriage of Figaro. A whirlwind of melodic invention and rhythmic vitality, this overture sets the stage for one of opera’s most beloved comedies.

Then comes the luminous magic of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, K. 467 – a masterpiece of lyrical elegance and technical brilliance. We are thrilled to welcome back Steinway Artist Stephanie Shih-yu Cheng as soloist for this delightful work.

Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21, K. 467 in C Major was composed in 1785, just weeks after completing his dramatic Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K. 466. The tonal contrast between these two works is astounding, revealing the great emotional range contained in Mozart’s oeuvre.

Prepare to be astonished by the sheer scale and ingenuity of Mozart’s Symphony No. 41 in C major, the “Jupiter Symphony.” ECO is performing the great final symphonies of each of the classical masters for our 2024-2025 Season, and Mozart certainly does not disappoint!

A monumental achievement, this symphony showcases the composer at the peak of his powers, despite dealing with illness and a decline in income and support from patrons. From the dramatic opening to the celestial finale, Symphony No. 41 is a testament to Mozart’s boundless creativity and orchestral mastery.
