香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 amazing to think that the mature period of Mozart香蕉视频直播檚 compositions happened in his mid-thirties. The creative genius of his final serenade, his final symphony and his final concerto (composed just two weeks before his death) astonishes me,香蕉视频直播� said OSO Music Director Rosemary Thomson. 香蕉视频直播淭he depth of beauty in the slow movements and the wit and charm of the fast movements are nothing short of brilliant. I can香蕉视频直播檛 wait to live inside this joyful music which will banish the January blahs with its warm sunshine.香蕉视频直播�

Guest artist Fung says that the Mozart clarinet concerto holds a very special and dear place in her heart.
香蕉视频直播淒uring Mozart香蕉视频直播檚 life, the clarinet was a relatively new and young instrument with only five keys! Because Mozart really fell in love with the instrument and its ability to imitate the human voice, he helped establish its place in classical music by incorporating it into his operas and late orchestral works and featured it prominently in pieces such as the inimitable Concerto. In playing it, you almost feel like you can trace the thread back to the beginning of the clarinet香蕉视频直播檚 existence, and experience a piece of music that香蕉视频直播檚 been in the heart of every clarinettist since its conception.
香蕉视频直播淢ozart香蕉视频直播檚 concerto is a piece of stunning beauty and lyricism and is rich in its portrayal of many complex characters. I am thrilled to be performing this beautiful work for the first time with my wonderful colleagues at the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Rosemary Thomson.香蕉视频直播�
